The Lead
"Hillary Clinton emerged from New York's presidential primary closer to clinching the Democratic nomination" and "Donald Trump strengthened his own path to the general election with a commanding victory, but has little room for error in the states ahead. The front-runners now hope to replicate their strong showings in New York in the cluster of Northeastern states next up on the primary calendar. Clinton was scheduled to spend Wednesday campaigning in Pennsylvania, while Trump had a rally planned in Maryland, as well as Indiana. Following her win in New York, a jubilant Clinton made clear she was moving past her unexpectedly competitive primary battle with Bernie Sanders and setting her sights on the general election." (

Clinton officially beat Sanders 58 to 42% in New York, and Trump won 60% of the vote statewide, followed by John Kasichat 25% and Ted Cruz at 14%. (

Looking forward, "even if Trump does poorly in Indiana and loses winner-take-all contests in Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana, he will likely still end the primary season with close to 1,150 delegates," which increases the odds he could sway enough delegates to win on the first ballot. (

EYE ON NOVEMBER: The Clinton "campaign is moving rapidly to set up the infrastructure she'll need for the general election, a process that will unfold mostly behind the scenes over the next seven weeks as the final Democratic primary votes are cast," but it has yet to make significant general election hires in swing states like Florida, Iowa, or Ohio.

Bloomberg) "On Tuesday, Team Trump invited 168 members of the Republican National Committee to come to a campaign presentation Thursday night. The reception appeared on an official RNC schedule that went out to members Tuesday night. The reception will take place in Hollywood, Florida, during the RNC's spring meeting, which runs Wednesday through Friday." (

Cruz's failure to pick up any delegates in New York closed off the possibility that he could win 1,237 delegates before the first ballot in Cleveland. (
