The Path is Clear for Clinton and Difficult for Trump

Bernie Sanders narrowly lost in New York, and the glimmer of hope that had emerged from his recent consecutive victories did not yield the result he desperately needed. New York not only did not become the graveyard of Hillary Clinton's campaign, but it also provided a significant victory for her campaign that could propel her to the doorstep of the Oval Office in the White House. In the opposing party, as always evident in the polls, Donald Trump emerged victorious, but not in the way that was expected. Trump managed to obliterate the 'Never Trump' campaign in his hometown! The victories of Trump and Clinton in the intra-party contests in New York turned the primary battle in this state into a crucial contest that could become a key turning point for both Republicans and Democrats. If ultimately Clinton and Trump, the winners of New York, secure their party nominations, both can claim that the day they won in New York was their most significant step toward the White House. What do these victories mean, and what will happen in the upcoming elections in the U.S.? If there was complete trust in the polls, it could have been confidently stated before the New York elections that Clinton would win by a significant margin. In all these polls, she was not only ahead but had a considerable lead over her opponent. However, the exception of Michigan made analysts more cautious than ever, waiting for the final outcome in New York. Finally, the elections were held, and the result was as indicated in the polls. Clinton decisively won in this state, and in one night, she nullified all of Sanders' campaign achievements in the previous seven states. In fact, the 20 million population of New York is roughly equivalent to the total population of all seven states where Sanders recently won! Thus, after Florida, Clinton achieved the largest possible victory in the intra-party contests. You can also follow U.S. election news with us on Telegram. Next Tuesday, intra-party elections will be held in five states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, all of which are close to New York, and according to current polls, Clinton is also ahead of Sanders in these states. In fact, the theory that Sanders' victory in New York would spark a wave of publicity and change the fate of these states is no longer effective, and it is quite possible that the situation will reverse, with Clinton's victories in the upcoming states being even more pronounced. In other words, although on paper and mathematically, it is still possible for a miracle to happen and Sanders to win moving forward, in the real world, the dimensions of this miracle would need to be much larger than ever; an impossible mission that Sanders' campaign claims to be hopeful about. The anti-Trump campaign faced a tough defeat in New York, and due to the complex laws of this state regarding the allocation of party delegates, almost all delegates went to Trump. He also secured over 60% of the votes in this state, indicating that while he is not generally a popular figure in his hometown, he is very popular among the Republican minority in the state. With the New York elections counted, Trump has secured the votes of 844 delegates for the national convention. He will need 1,237 votes for final victory, and despite his stunning success in New York, he still has a significant gap to reach this number. In other words, there is still a possibility that he may ultimately fail to reach the minimum required votes and not become the nominee. The next elections will be held on the 7th of Ordibehesht (April 26). In this regard, the endless anxieties of Trump and Clinton; in a fateful week. Clinton passed the last health curve; but Trump did not! Both Clinton and Sanders are quite hopeful; why? After Wisconsin, the breath of Democrats is held in New York! The life-and-death battle of Democrats in the 'Empire State'.
