New York Primary

April 17, 2016 - 11:25pm
Protests outside Donald Trump campaign stops are becoming common, and his Syracuse speech was no exception.

On one of the nicest days in Central New York in recent months, Donald Trump supporters and opponents were not playing nice in the streets. Although it did not reach the violent levels of Chicago or other locations of Trump rallies, the presence of protesters lining the roads around the Oncenter in Syracuse still maintained a fighting spirit.

With his visit to Syracuse, the GOP frontrunner became the latest presidential candidate to stop in Central New York before Tuesday's state primary.

Around 5,000 people came to the Nicholas J. Pirro Convention Center in Syracuse on Saturday to hear Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Despite accusations that the businessman is anti-immigrant and anti-intellectual, a member of both groups was at the rally.

Retired orthopedic physician Fred Bejani traveled from New Jersey to show his support for Trump.

At a recent press conference, four leaders spoke to press about why they are supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders.

A grassroots campaign does not take place in a grand ballroom. It typically doesn’t sell out arenas or stadiums. Usually you will be hard-pressed to find donors that can give more than twenty dollars of their paycheck. But that seems to be why Sen. Bernie Sanders and his message attract so many supporters. The Vermont senator is resonating with so many people in his bid to win the nomination of the Democratic Party.

The march comes just a few days before Sanders is set to visit Syracuse's Oncenter.

Democratic candidate for president Bernie Sanders is coming off a win in Wisconsin, and his New York supporters want to keep the momentum going.

Sanders supporters marched through Downtown Syracuse today in hopes of encouraging voters to vote for Sanders in the upcoming New York Primary on April 19, 2016.

To gain more attention, people beat drums to make sure they were heard and waved signs with messages such as “We are the 99%” and “Feel the Bern.”
