'There's No Place Like Home': Clinton and Trump Declared Primary Winners in New York

“There’s no place like home,” Hillary Clinton told New Yorkers on Tuesday night.

After losing eight of the last nine contests to rival Bernie Sanders, Clinton was able to finally claim a victory on Tuesday night by winning her adopted home state of New York.

“The primary continues, but no matter who wins, the center of gravity in the Democratic Party has fundamentally shifted in an economic populist direction during this primary—and because of that, Democrats are better positioned to win in November.” —Adam Green, PCCCLess than forty minutes after polls closed, major news outlets declared Clinton the winner of the state’s Democratic primary.

With approximately 44 percent of the vote counted at around 9:45 PM ET, NBC News results showed Clinton leading rival Bernie Sanders by a 61 to 40 percent margin. By 11 PM, however, with closer to 90 percent of precincts reporting, the margin had narrowed to 57-43 split.

In a tweet sent just before 10 PM, the Clinton campaign acknowledged the win, stating, “To our volunteers, organizers, and supporters who worked your hearts out in New York: This is your win. Thank you.”

Subsequently, speaking to a crowd of supporters in mid-town Manhattan, Clinton made a gesture to those who have energetically backed Sanders by telling them she thinks there “is much more that unites us, than divides us.”
