Clinton, Trump win big in Brooklyn, too
Democrats take 59th A.D. seat in Canarsie
A closer look at the results from Tuesday’s New York State Primary showed that Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump not only won decisive victories statewide, they also dominated in the borough of Brooklyn.
Clinton, the former secretary of state who represented New York in the U.S. Senate from 2000 to 2009, beat Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a Brooklyn native, by 20 percentage points, 60 percent to 40 percent in Brooklyn, according to NY1.
Clinton’s margin of victory in Brooklyn was larger than her margin statewide. She won 58 percent of the statewide Democratic vote to Sanders’ 42 percent.
