Cuomo and Molinaro before polling day
Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo and his Republican challenger Marc Molinaro held protests all day Sunday to talk to their supporters in anticipation of Tuesday's election.
Molinaro, who is also a member of Dutchess County, started at the Desmond Hotel in Colony around 9 am on Sunday morning and organized protests in Westchester and Orange counties before ending his regular fundraiser at Tivoli village, in Dutchess County.
Cuomo organized rallies in Mount Kisco, Westchester County, where he resides when he is not at the governor's, and at Hauppauge, in Suffolk County, Long Island.
Molinaro began his speech in the shadow of the new Mario Cuomo bridge in Tarrytown, Westchester County, later Sunday morning, and noted the poll previously released by the Siena Research Institute, which showed that Cuomo had dropped 49% of the 36% of Molinaro. The remaining 14% are composed of undecided voters and third party candidates. Rounding numbers does not add up to 100%
"We woke up and the earth shook a bit," said Molinaro, whose rally was broadcast on Facebook and Twitter. "We have halved the governor's advance." The challenger was referring to a previous poll that showed that it attracted 28% of likely voters.
The crowd in Tarrytown was filled with signs of those campaigning for the name of the bridge to be changed to the Tappan Zee Bridge. Molinaro appeared at this meeting with his lieutenant governor, Julie Killian, and the Republican candidate, the government controller, Jonathan Trichter.
"We are fighting hard and over the next couple of days we will meet as many voters as possible," Molinaro said.
While Molinaro was keen on specifically targeting Cuomo, the governor was continuing his quest not to compete with his opponent, but with the administration of President Donald Trump.
"(Trump) creates a diversion, and the diversion is a division," Cuomo told a room packed with supporters at the American Legion in Mount Kisco; the event was also broadcast on Facebook. The governor was referring to the language used by the president to describe the caravan of Central American migrants currently moving to Mexico.
Cuomo appeared with various Democratic leaders from the inner city, including Congresswoman Nita Lowey, who introduced her.
The governor said that he and the Democratic Party had made New York the "progressive capital of the nation", noting the adoption of the equality of marriage, family leave, and the law of the land. firearms control SAFE Act.
"We will turn America into America in which we believe," said Cuomo.
