Donald Trump Primary Night Speech Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke to supporters in Manhattan after the polls closed in the New York primary. Donald Trump is back home, and he's feeling like a winner again. Donald Trump swept the Empire State Tuesday night in the GOP primary, as he garnered more than 60 percent of the vote with more than 40 percent of precincts reporting. With 95 delegates at stake, a Republican candidate would need to sweep more than 50 percent of the at-large and congressional district vote in order to take away all of New York’s delegates. NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 19: Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump returns to his midtown office after voting on primary day in New York on April 19, 2016 in New York City. Trump is looking to win in New York after a string of losses to Senator Ted Cruz. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — who angered New Yorkers with his now infamous “New York values” comments — came in a rather distant third Tuesday night, which did not go unnoticed by Trump as he spoke to reporters from Trump Tower, near Midtown, after his big victory was announced. “It’s really nice to win the delegates with the votes,” Trump said. “It’s impossible to catch us,” he later continued. Trump is currently ahead in the delegate process as he leads Cruz by nearly 200 points. Ohio Gov. John Kasich brings up the rear with 144 delegates thus far New York Republican Primary Results—According to quick calls by multiple media outlets, the billionaire has won the New York Republican primary in a landslide. The votes are still being counted, but Trump's two remaining rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich don't even appear to have come close. This is no surprise — the polls showed Trump ahead by 30 points. Yet the question of just how much of a winner Trump is remains to be determined, and will depend on his final vote total both statewide and in each of New York's 27 congressional districts. That's the real drama tonight, because it's still very unclear whether Trump can manage to put together a delegate majority before the convention. To get that majority, he likely needs to win the vast majority of delegates in New York. And to pull that off, Trump needs to top 50 percent of the vote both statewide and in as many congressional districts as possible. The big question: How often will Trump top 50 percent? New York has 95 delegates overall, making it the second-biggest delegate prize remaining (after California). But the winner of the state doesn't automatically get all the delegates. In fact, just 14 of New York's 95 Republican delegates are allotted based on the statewide vote. So if Trump tops 50 percent statewide, he wins all 14 of those delegates. But if he finishes below that, he'll split that haul with the other candidates who topped 20 percent. That means that the real action is in at the district level, which will provide the other 81 of the state's delegates (three per district). If Trump tops 50 percent in a district, he'll win all three of that district's delegates. If he wins the district but doesn't reach 50 percent, he'll get two of three. If he comes in second he'll get just one. It will likely take some time before we know results on the Congressional district level. So it could be a while before we know just how well Trump did.
