Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump came to Maryland, hoping to shore up support among voters, ahead of the state’s April 26 primary.

Taking a jab at Mr Sanders during her speech, Mrs Clinton said: “Under the bright lights of NY, we have seen it is not enough to diagnose problems, we have to explain how we actually solve problems”.
Trump also said transgender people should be able to use whichever bathroom they choose, responding to North Carolina’s so-called “bathroom law” that directs transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificates. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, are refusing to leave the race despite being – according to Trump – “mathematically eliminated” from securing the nomination before the convention. If Trump falls short of an outright majority, they say, the delegates get to decide and that’s simply how the system works.
“To the people that know me the best the people of NY when they give us this kind of a vote it’s just incredible”, a delighted Trump, 69, flanked by his family, told a Manhattan party.
He also reassured RNC members that Trump will raise money for the party – something he’s so far avoided doing, Manafort said, because it would violate a campaign promise not to take donations. That honor goes to Cruz in Utah, where he got 69 percent of the vote (winning by 52 percentage points). He reiterated that the party was “a long ways off from a nominee” and that Cruz will prevail.
More than half of Democratic primary voters want the next president to continue Obama’s policies while only 3 in 10 want more liberal policies.
“Thank you, New York”, Clinton told supporters at her victory party Tuesday night.
Assistant professor of political science Jacob Neiheisel of the University at Buffalo said that while many factors are at play, “having a home state advantage certainly helped Clinton”, as did her prior experience as the U.S. senator for the state.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton won comfortably, as the polls and demographic analysis predicted.
Exit polls show that Clinton won overwhelmingly among blacks and was strong among women.
“It isn’t rigged. We have made the rules and there’s a very careful process for changing those rules”, said Alaska Committeewoman Cynthia Henry.
Cruz lost in NY to Ohio Governor John Kasich, who received four delegates, and billionaire Donald Trump, who received 89 delegates.
This year, there’s a real campaign in Pennsylvania, and it’s about the delegates.

And voters say the tough primary slog is taking its toll. “I brought my daughter with me because I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it’s living history, and I wanted her to be part of it”, said Stephanie Rotenberg of Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania.
