On April 19, New York state and all of its 19 million residents will be given the chance to cast their vote for the republican and democratic nominees. Candidates from both sides, all five of them have spent the last few weeks in New York. The state is an important one, with high population and a lot of time in the primary schedule to campaign in the state. Three candidates in particular have roots in New York City. Clinton’s time in Congress was spent as the Senator to New York, Sanders was born and raised in Brooklyn, and Trump lives and owns many buildings in New York City. Some candidates have had some real interesting experiences in New York over the last few weeks.

Kasich

The focus of Kasich’s campaign is something everyone can really understand-- food. In Queens, Kasich began to eat a slice of pizza with a fork, which goes against “New York Values” he needs to gain voters. To make up for Pizza-Gate, Kasich spent a few hours in the Bronx meeting with voters at Mike’s Deli. The Ohio governor had a true feast. According to DNAinfo, “The Republican presidential candidate chowed down on the eatery's pasta fagioli and spaghetti bolognese, as well as the Yankee Stadium Big Boy (mortadella, ham, salami, capicolo, mozzarella, lettuce and peppers), and the JK, named after the Ohio governor himself and containing salami, pepperoni, provolone, pepperoncini, pickles and creamy Italian dressing. He seemed particularly attached to the spaghetti bolognese, as he stopped the staff from taking it away from him when they first tried.”

Trump

In his home state, Trump ran into some issues with a few voters in particular- his kids. In the state of New York, you need to be registered republican in order to vote in the New York republican primary. Both Ivanka and Eric did not register to be republicans by the October due date, and in result cannot vote for their father in the New York primary. According to Trump, "They had a long time to register and they were unaware of the rules so they feel very, very guilty, they feel very guilty, but it's fine, I understand, that,"

Sanders

Candidate Bernie Sanders came home to New York and he had a huge welcome. Sanders held a rally in Washington Square Park, where he was met by 27,000 supporters. This rally came after Sanders spent the day marching with 40,000 Verizon customers. "Tonight, I want to take my hat off to the CWA," he told supporters in the park. "They are standing up to a greedy corporation that wants to cut their health care benefits, send decent paying jobs abroad and then provide $20 million a year to their CEO."
