Trump, Clinton win New York primaries


(Vatican Radio) Front runners Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton came out victorious in Tuesday’s primary elections in New York, putting them one step closer to becoming the main contenders in November’s presidential elections.

Listen to Ann Schneible’s report:

Winning the New York primaries is a major step toward helping Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hilary Clinton secure the nominations of their respective parties in their bid for the presidency.

Trump captured more than 60 percent of the vote in his home state in Tuesday’s elections, resulting in a major blow to the campaign of his main opponent, Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

“We don’t have much of a race anymore, based on what I’m seeing on television,” Trump claimed in his victory speech after the New York primaries.

Meanwhile, Clinton came out ahead of her democrat rival Bernie Sanders, putting her 80 percent of the way to winning the Democratic nomination that eluded her eight years ago.

“New Yorkers,” she said after Tuesday night’s victory, “you’ve always had my back. And, I’ve always tried to have yours.”

The nominating contests will stay centered in the Northeast in the coming days, with Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania all holding elections.

Despite the defeat in New York, both Cruz and Sanders remain in the running for the nominations.
