NEW YORK (AP) – The Latest on campaign 2016 a day before New Yorkers vote in their state’s crucial primary (all times Eastern Daylight Time):

9:00 a.m.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says his controversial criticism of “New York values” was a comment that originated from his rival Donald Trump in an interview on partial birth abortion.

In a town hall-style interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Monday, Cruz said that the comments by Trump, a native New Yorker, echoed the “left-wing democratic policies” that have dominated New York policies.

“I was repeating Donald’s own phrasing,” Cruz said.
