New York shaping up to be decisive primary in US election race

The city’s delegate tally is decisive in the race for the US presidency, and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton could win their parties’ nominations there next Tuesday, says Bette Browne.

NEXT Tuesday, April 19, is shaping up to be the battle for New York in the US presidential election, with Democratic and Republican candidates fighting to amass enough votes to become their party’s undisputed standard-bearer.

On the Republican side, much of the focus is on frontrunner, Donald Trump, who will be battling rivals, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, for 95 nominating votes, which could seal the deal for him as the party’s nominee.
