this one took place in long island city, queens. both candidates seeking last-minute support from voteas. if you think voters are decided, we talked to s e on the fence about mrs. clinton and wanted to go to the sanders rally to hear what he had to say. and we also want to hear from the candidates. let's listen. >> i want ypou tonow that new york has my back and i always tried to have your back. and i will again if i'm so fortunate enough to be elected your president. >> from coast tr coast, this i a movement getting the establishment very, very nervous. >> reporter:.asu've take another look at the crowded rallies, the candidates are getting ready for the next contest. will be in pennsylvania. mrs. clinton in washington, d.c. we do e pect her a little bit before 8:00 a.m. bae ck to you. >> kat, thank you very much. win could help donald toump cement his front-runner statgs. >> "today in new york's" lori bordonaro is in manhattan with the republican side of the race. >> reporter: i just met friends of donald trump who are insidg cast

right now bernie sanders is speaking at a rally in long island city, new york.is a reaction to this. >> here's what else. you know, i think making this point about how we look at the status quo. and what i beg of you, do not accept that the status quo that we have today has got to extend for decades. what the media does, what congress does, what the establishment does is to tell you hey, this is the way it is. it can't change. yeah, we have a terrible and unequal distribution of wealth and income. so what. that's the way it is. cannot be changed. and what we have got to do is envision a nation in which in fact real change takes place. now, right now, right now in this country, we have millions of people working longer hours for lower wages than was the case 20 or 30 years ago. you want to know why people are angry? you got men and women in the work force whose real inflation adjusted incomes are substantially lower than they were 40 years ago, or 10 years ago. and people are asking how does it happen? we got all of this technology which makes workers more produc

>> thanks so much, kasie hunt on long island, and in long island city, thank you so much. kristin welker who is covering the clinton campaign from the city -- or rather normal looking setting compared to outside there. sanders, if they get within single digits, they claim victory, but what does it become credible in a way? i think sa if he has a credible race in new york, i think he'll be ahead of her by next week. that's my hunch. what do you think? >> reporter: i think you could be right. there's no doubt the momentum is on senator sanders' side. he has seven victories under his belt. over the weekend, he drew his largest crowd yet, more than 28,000 people to prospect park. but the reality is, if secretary clinton wins by double digits, or if he gets close to double digits, there's going to be the math to contend with. and she is close, if she gets double digits, he would get a 25-point delegate net gain, that would almost put the race out of reach for senator sanders. he'd have to then go on and win 70% of the remaining delegates. so to kasie's point about the national
