Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are hoping to remind voters that they are this year’s presidential favorites with expected victories in Tuesday’s New York primary. Both have lost the last few contests, allowing Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders to gain momentum. Meanwhile, John Kasich intercepts tapes from reporters asking how he expects to win the nomination after winning just one contest.
Republican primaries
Donald Trump:Trump’s campaign made a gigantic difference shake this week, when the candidate noted that he wants Paul Manafort and Rick Wiley to have more authority by giving them $20 million to operate in the upcoming 2016 election. On Monday, the businessman told New Yorkers they cannot vote for Cruz because his comments about “New York values” prove he “hates New York.”
Ted Cruz:The media is assuming Cruz has already conceded in New York, given that his schedule calls for campaigning in Maryland and Pennsylvania before the votes are counted in New York state. We all know how Trump feels about the Texas senator, but on Tuesday, Rep. Peter King also made his anger at Cruz very clear, stating that “take cyanide“if Cruz is nominated.
Jan Kasich: Kasich is capitalizing on Rep. King’s hatred of Cruz. The congressman announced he will vote for Ohio governor on Tuesday. Kasich’s campaign on Monday reported that the governor won significant support in the race for Indiana state delegates.
Democratic primaries
Hillary Clinton:Clinton made headlines by claiming she was the winner hot sauce in her purse during a radio interview. When the DJ asked if she was just trying to pander to black voters, she asked, “Does it work?” But she does better with a different demographic. In the up-to-date questionnaire Among LGBT voters in New York, Clinton is the clear winner. The former secretary of state has lost the last eight contests to her opponent, meaning a victory on Tuesday is extremely critical for her to convince voters that she is still the Democratic favorite.
Bernie Sanders: Sanders’ relentless attacks on Clinton’s ties to Wall Street have made the New York election more close than it should be. Sanders is drawing thousands of supporters across New York. The Vermont senator, who grew up in Brooklyn, says the Empire State election is underestimation his support. A enormous turnout Tuesday, Sanders said, would guarantee his victory. Nationally, Sanders is quickly closing the gap. New vote Results released on Tuesday show he is only 2 points behind.
