The2016 New York Republican presidential primary was held on April 19 in the U.S. state ofNew York as one of theRepublican Party'sprimaries ahead of the2016 presidential election.
Donald Trump won his home state with 59% of the vote and picked up 89 pledged delegates. He won over all age groups, income levels and political ideologies,[1] with most voters saying they want a candidate who "can bring change" and "tells it like it is". Most voters supported Trump's proposed ban on Muslim immigration to the United States.[2]
TheDemocratic Party also held their ownNew York primary on the same day which was won byHillary Clinton. Apart from that, no other primaries were scheduled for that day by either party.
Despite an early victory byTed Cruz in theIowa caucuses,Donald Trump was seen as making steady progress towards the Republican nomination at the time. Trump was victorious in 7 of the contests on March 1, with Cruz seen as the only viable threat to Trump after victories in his home state of Texas and 2 other March 1 contests.Marco Rubio performed worse than anticipated on March 1, taking onlyMinnesota. On March 8, two primaries and a caucus were held inHawaii,Michigan andMississippi. Despite a poll fromAmerican Research Group that showed Kasich leading Trump in Michigan, Trump won all three contests.[3][4]
On March 15's primaries, Donald Trump took four of the five contests-Florida,Illinois,Missouri andNorth Carolina. Trump however was defeated inOhio byJohn Kasich, losing all 66 of the state's delegates. Marco Rubio suspended his campaign after losing the Florida contest,[5] leaving just Cruz and Kasich in the race to oppose Trump.
On March 22, Trump won theArizona contest and all of its 58 pledged delegates, while Cruz capitalized on Trump's comments critical ofMitt Romney'sMormon faith[6] to take the state ofUtah and its 40 delegates.
The month of April brought several strong performances for Cruz. He capitalized on a weak ground game in the Donald Trump campaign to win the conventions inNorth Dakota andColorado, despite criticism from Donald Trump.[7] In addition, Ted Cruz won the valuableWisconsin primary and with it 36 of the state's 42 delegates. Many considered the probability of a "contested"Republican National Convention as it was considered doubtful that Trump would receive the requisite 1,237 delegates.[8]
Being Donald Trump's home state, New York was expected to be one of his strongest states in the primary contests. While Trump himself said that he would be satisfied with only one half of the delegates, most prognosticators said that Trump would have to perform extremely strongly in the state in order to avoid a contested convention.[9] Ted Cruz's attacks in aFox Business Network primary debate in South Carolina, criticizing Donald Trump for holding what he referred to as "New York values"- meaning the liberal, left leaning values of New York City came under fire as Cruz was campaigning in New York as well.[10] This, combined with Trump's strong performances in the Northeast, especiallyMassachusetts, meant that Trump was considered a favorite with Kasich as his main challenger.
