Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are the projected winners of the June 7 New Jersey primary according to a Rutgers Eagleton poll.

Sixty-one percent of voters said they can’t see themselves supporting Cruz, the Republican Texas senator second to Trump in delegates, while 58 percent said they can’t see themselves supporting Clinton, the current Democratic primary leader.
Earlier this month, he also paid his first visit to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
A total of 29 delegates are available from the state and Cruz is set to win nearly all of them-at RealClearPolitics, they’ve allocated 23-9 from the original vote and 14 from the convention-with Trump coming away with only one delegate. I asked trump about Cruz’s delegate strategy. No new Yorker can vote for Ted Cruz and no new Yorker can vote for kasich.
With polls showing him maintaining a big lead in his home state, he appeared to be attempting to run up the score, suggesting that Cruz “hates NY”. Kasich will pick up delegates if he can keep Trump below 50 percent in a lot of the congressional districts.
“I don’t know. I haven’t made the determination”, Trump replied.
In a contested convention, he said, he believes all three of the remaining candidates has a legitimate shot at the nomination.
Nonetheless, it’s inevitable that some Trump supporters will find merit in his plaints; and if, as seems likely but not certain, he fails to win in primaries and caucuses the 1,237 delegate votes needed for the nomination, they will start bellowing, “We wuz robbed”.
Trump needs to win about 80 of New York’s 95 delegates to stay on track of winning the nomination before the convention.
Both the NY primaries are closed primaries – meaning to vote in the Democrat primary you must be registered as a Democrat, and to vote in the Republican primary you must be registered as a Republican.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is engaged in a war of words with the Republican National Committee. “If Donald’s the nominee, he loses”. That could give Ohio Gov. John Kasich a few to add to his column.

Although Utahns selected Cruz the victor in the state’s caucuses in March, Kasich would hold the most support against either Clinton or Sanders.
