In order to take all 95 of New York’s delegates, Trump would have to win more than 50% of the the votes statewide, and more than 50% in each of New York’s 27 congressional districts.

Trump’s crushing defeat of Ted Cruz in Tuesday’s primary election tilted the energy in the Republican race back to the frontrunner, just as Republican National Committee members began meeting in Florida yesterday to discuss their July convention, where the nominee will be chosen. Clinton needs 937 more delegates to win, while Sanders needs 1,183 more. “If Donald Trump was winning the majority of votes, he’d likely have the majority of delegates”, Priebus said.
Several of the candidates who are no longer running raised far more from IN throughout the campaign than did Trump. “Ted Cruz is mathematically out of winning the race”, Mr Trump said yesterday (Wednesday) on Twitter.
“Now all he can do is be a spoiler, never a nice thing to do”. I think that Hillary Clinton, for example, made Barack Obama a better general election candidate 8 years ago.
Mr Trump, 69, predicted some “amazing weeks” ahead for his campaign. Our jobs are being sucked out of our states, they are being taken out of our country and we are not going to let it happen anymore.
As of Thursday, he has 845 delegates on his way to the 1,237 needed to be the Republican nominee for president. Ted Cruz (R) of Texas, who left New York’s primary empty handed. The Democratic presidential candidate said she understands it was challenging for the state to pass legislation expanding an assault weapons ban and barring large-capacity ammunition magazines, among other changes. “You know what, I got a lot more faith in the people of Pennsylvania”.
He also conceded that Trump will probably win additional states during Tuesday’s Northeastern and mid-Atlantic contests. “At the latest skirmish was Saturday night’s GOP presidential debate in SC, it was Cruz versus Rubio, Bush versus Trump, Trump versus everybody”.
Cruz only mentioned New York once in his speech, greeting the crowd with, “God Bless New York, and God Bless the people of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania!”
There are 71 Pennsylvania Republican delegates. According to ABC News, Clinton is expected to pick up at least 135 delegates in NY, while Sanders is expected to at least pick up 104 delegates, with eight delegates remaining to be allocated pending final vote tallies. A USA senator from Vermont, Sanders has vowed to fight until the Democrats’ nominating convention in Philadelphia starting on July 25. And yet, Cruz is poised to have the most MA supporters at the Republican convention. Why? He said it was extremely unlikely that either candidate would have the delegates needed to win the nomination outright. “Kasich emerged from a squabble of center-right candidates to claim second place in New Hampshire, and… chose the Rust Belt as Cruz chose the South, staking his campaign on nearly an entirely different terrain and sending them on wildly different routes to the GOP nomination”.

“She [Hillary Clinton] runs a risk. If she goes too far to the left she’s going to upset independents and others that she’s going to need in the general”, Manley said.
