Voters in New York are heading to the polls in the Republican and Democratic presidential races. Here’s what to know about Tuesday’s contests: Donald J. Trump won New York’s Republican primary on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, trouncing his Republican rivals in his home state and extending his lead in the race for delegates.
9 p.m. Eastern Mr. Trump fended off challenges from Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, again demonstrating the broad appeal of his populist message with Republican voters. The victory was a crucial one for Mr. Trump, who has seen his delegate lead slip away at state conventions across the country in recent weeks.
Republican race: 95. But the race will quickly move to the five contests next Tuesday, which could prove crucial as Mr. Trump tries to secure the nomination and his opponents attempt to engineer a contested convention.
Democratic race: 291. There were 95 delegates at stake for Republicans in New York.
Here’s how the rest of the delegate race could unfold.
Here’s part of what Maggie Haberman of The Times is paying attention to:
In 2008, the turnout in the state Democratic primary was at a high, with more than 1.89 million people voting for either Hillary Clinton, then a senator from New York, or her rival, Barack Obama, then a senator from Illinois.
And more than 670,000 Republicans voted in a primary for a race that by then was clearly leaning toward Senator John McCain of Arizona. The New Yorker in the race, Rudolph W. Giuliani, had dropped out long before.
The likelihood of the Democratic turnout reaching the 2008 level is slim. But the Republicans could certainly exceed their 2008 numbers given the enthusiasm that Mr. Trump has set off in pockets of the state including Staten Island.
