Republican front-runner Donald Trump told supporters at Trump Tower in Manhattan that his campaign is "really, really rocking," after coming out ahead in New York's primary April 19.
NEW YORK — Donald Trump easily trounced his opponents in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary here in his home state of New York, notching his biggest win yet and pulling further ahead of Ted Cruz and John Kasich in the delegate count.
Trump’s
blowout victory — which was propelled by voters’ overwhelming desire to elect a
political outsider who could bring change — positions the billionaire mogul for
a hot streak in five East Coast primaries next week and brings him closer to
securing the nomination with an outright majority of pledged delegates.
Late
returns showed Trump winning with well over 50 percent of the vote statewide.
He was holding similar margins in most of the state’s 27 congressional
districts, putting him on the path to winning most or even all of New York’s 95
delegates.
