Election 2016: Clinton wins New York

MSNBC reports that Hillary Clinton has won the state of New York, and its 29 electoral votes. The Empire State, a state with a long and storied Democratic identity, was something of a gimme for Clinton. She served as a senator in the state after leaving the White House, and she maintains a home in Chappaqua, N.Y. Clinton wins the state by a comfortable margin, 77 percent to 21 percent, according to MSNBC projections.
