Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won big victories in New York State’s presidential primary election on Tuesday. Trump, a billionaire businessman, and Clinton, the former secretary of state, each extended their leads in the race for the Republican and Democratic nominations. Trump earned close to 60 percent of the vote in the Republican primary and almost all of New York’s 95 delegates. Ohio Governor John Kasich won 25 percent of the votes, while Texas Senator Ted Cruz had 15 percent. In the Democratic primary, Clinton defeated Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, 58 percent to 42 percent. She won 135 of New York’s 247 delegates to the party’s convention this summer. In her victory speech, Clinton tried to unite her campaign with Sanders and his supporters. “To all the people who supported Senator Sanders, I believe there is much more that unites us than divides us,” Clinton said. Trump spoke to his supporters Tuesday night. He said he is the only Republican with enough support to win the party’s nomination.
