Connections: Previewing The Republican Presidential Primary In New York State

WXXI News | By Evan Dawson
Published April 13, 2016 at 2:28 PM EDT

We examine the state of the Republican presidential primary in New York State.

Donald Trump holds big leads in the polls, but that doesn't guarantee him a sweep of delegates. And New York could hold a big key as to whether Trump can clinch the nomination. Our panel discusses the remaining candidates and our state's role next Tuesday. Our guests:

  • Christopher DiGiacomandrea, senior district executive at the Boy Scouts of America and a Kasich supporter
  • Matt Leverich, student at Nazareth College and a Trump supporter
  • Tim Kneeland, professor and chairperson in the Departments of History and Political Science at Nazareth College
