On Wednesday, NBC’s Today used the outcome of the New York primary to declare the nomination contests on both the Democratic and Republican sides to be over. At the top of the show, co-host Matt Lauer proclaimed: “Decisive victories. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton walk away with big wins in New York. Both now talking like the general election is set....So have New York values ended the race for Cruz? What about Kasich and Sanders?”
Moments later, Lauer touted how Trump “crushed his rivals” and reiterated: “Ted Cruz finishing a distant third, the criticism of New York values seeming to hurt him.” Fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie noted a “resounding double-digit win” for Hillary Clinton.
