Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz was handed a stinging loss in the New York primary Tuesday, getting shut out of delegates by Donald Trump and John Kasich.
And in at least one congressional district, the Texas senator lost to someone who has long since dropped out of the race: Ben Carson.
In Westchester County’s 16th Congressional District, Cruz came in fourth place, behind Carson by 296 votes.
Trump dominated in Tuesday’s contest, garnering 60.5 percent of the vote and taking away 89 delegates. Kasich, who hasn’t won a state since Ohio's contest in March, took 25 percent of the vote and grabbed three delegates, while Cruz got zero.
Cruz had a hard time campaigning in New York after making negative comments about “New York values” earlier in the race as part of an attack on Trump.
Cruz faced loud protests while campaigning in the Bronx and a cold reception from nearly 800 Republicans at a New York City GOP gala last week.
