Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton handily won the high-stakes New York presidential primaries, expanding the delegate leads for both candidates and getting a burst of much-needed momentum heading into a slate of northeastern contests next week.

Both Trump and Clinton aimed to capitalize on the delegate-rich state that each candidate called home; Clinton represented New York for eight years in the Senate, and Trump lives in New York City and started his real estate career there. Sanders, who was born in Brooklyn, also sought to be seen as a hometown hero.

As of late Tuesday night, Trump had won at least 88 of the 95 delegates at stake in New York while Ohio Governor John Kasich took three. Of the 291 delegates up for grabs in the Democratic race, Clinton had won 177 while Sanders took 105.

Now, the race moves to five states that will hold their primaries on April 26: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
