BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — Primary Day has wrapped up in New York State, and it came with no surprises, as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump already have enough delegates for their respective parties.

In Erie County President Joe Biden won 91% of the Democratic vote. While, former President Donald Trump, won 77% of the Republican vote in Erie County. Nikki Haley got about 16% of that vote, despite dropping out of the race.

7 News Political Analyst Bob Mccarthy said the candidates will now be looking at how they did in certain areas, especially as President Biden faces criticism from his own party when it comes to the war in the Middle East.
