With the races in both the Democratic and Republican parties about as close as they’re likely to get, all eyes shift to the Empire State for Tuesday’s all-important primary battle. The delegate counts are high and the stakes are even higher, with candidates in both parties looking to claim New York as their own.

On the Democratic side of things, it’s a fight for home turn legitimacy. Former Secretary of State — and former New York Senator — Hillary Clinton holds a lead over Brooklyn-born Bernie Sanders heading into today’s primary, but it’s far from over. The self-described Democratic-Socialist has been turning out record crowds in all five boroughs; however, Clinton’s impressive 2008 showing in the Empire State indicates her favorability with New Yorkers is high (she won all but one county against then-Senator Obama).

As for the GOP, many are expecting a polling bloodbath of sorts, as Donald J. Trump heads into the primary contest with an astounding 30.0 point lead over his next closest competitor,

Texas Senator Ted Cruz. “New York values” have been front and center in this election cycle, with hometown Trump hammering Cruz in the media and the Big Apple tabloids following suit. Also in the mix is Ohio Governor John Kasich, who continues to fight it out for a seat in a contested convention this summer.

All of the main cable news networks will carry coverage from Tuesday’s New York primary.
