first of all you mentioned new york. really over the next nine days, all these contests in the northeast, this is trump's backyard. he's expected to win. he's going to need to win big in all those states. because then the month of may, the contest moves out west the pacific northwest, nebraska, not areas that are necessarily trump's strength. most important state in may is the state of indiana. he's going to need to do better than expected in may because you no matter what, we are headed to the last day of voting. june 7th, several states including most importantly the state of california. 172 delegates. if trump is going to win this, even if he's going on a roll between now and then, he's going to need a big win in california. jonathan karl, abc news, washington. >> jon karl, thanks so much for that. today the eight justices on the supreme court hear arguments in a major immigration case. at issue is president obama's plan to shield more than 4 million people here illegally from deportation.
