Hillary Clinton Wins Decisive Victory Over Bernie Sanders in New York Primary
Hillary Clinton clinched a decisive victory over Bernie Sanders in New York on Tuesday, crushing hopes among his supporters that a recent winning streak could change the direction of the Democratic presidential race.
In the Republican race, Donald Trump swept to victory in his home state, reviving his hopes of winning the Republican party nomination outright.
Clinton’s projected win by the Associated Press came 45 minutes after polls closed and suggested a commanding performance that could see her take a clear majority of the 291 delegates on offer and extend her national lead.
Appearing at a victory rally in Midtown Manhattan, the former secretary of state said: “Tonight, the race for the Democratic nomination is in the home stretch and victory is in sight.”
