New York has its primary today.

Trump is expected to win New York easily, and he needs it given that he has taken a bit of a hit recently from Cruz (see: Wyoming). However, he is off his pace a bit, so likely needs a "YUGE" win here. New York awards 14 delegates proportionally statewide with a 50% winner take all trigger, and 3 delegates per congressional district, also proportional, but all 3 go to any candidate with 50% of that district. What that means is that if he hits the 50% mark statewide (and it looks like he will) AND his vote is reasonably efficient, he could win big.

Sanders and Clinton will be closer, but not much. Look for Clinton to win New York by 10-15 points.
