Donald Trump emphatically reclaimed momentum Tuesday night in the fight for the Republican presidential nomination, scoring an overwhelming victory in his home state of New York.
The major networks called the race immediately after polls closed at 9 p.m. ET. Exit polls showed Trump winning more than half the vote in the state, with John Kasich and Ted Cruz trailing far behind.
The Republican front-runner’s win follows a string of losses this month, in the Wisconsin primary and at state conventions in Colorado and Wyoming where Cruz outmaneuvered Trump in the delegate selection process. But in New York, which will send 95 delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July, Trump worked hard to climb back on top.
