Donald Trump won every county in the New York Republican primary, except the one he calls home.
New York County (the borough of Manhattan) went to John Kasich, who received 45.2 percent of the vote, or 11,251 votes. Trump was close behind with 41.8 percent, or 10,393 votes, and Ted Cruz came in a very distant third with 13 percent, or 3,243 votes. Kasich also did well in the 12th Congressional District, where Trump Tower stands. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, the unofficial vote tally has Kasich ahead of Trump by 70 votes, DNAinfo reports. He is expected to take three delegates.
A proud Kasich retweeted positive comments and articles about the win, and told followers "the presidency is too important to give away."
