Hillary bash in NYC: Brooklyn ties & tears wrap up Democratic Primary celebrations
Statewide win for Hillary brought Cuomo & de Blasio to victory fete
Brooklyn has been a “one-party town” for most of its existence, and this year was bound to have an even stronger direct connection to both national candidates.
Both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton put their New York headquarters in Brooklyn. Both claimed a piece of the “Brooklyn Brawl” aspect of their nationally-televised debate. But Hillary prevailed by 20 percentage points in Brooklyn (and by 16 points statewide).
The mood at the grand ballroom of the Sheraton Times Square was electrifying late Tuesday as a chanting, sign-waving crowd of Clinton supporters heard the news that their candidate had won.
