“This is a tough race for us,” Sanders acknowledged in his closing remarks in Washington Square Park

“but you know what I think? When I look out at the thousands of people who are here tonight, the thousands of people we saw in Buffalo and Syracuse and Rochester, I think we’ve got a surprise for the establishment!”

“I think that if we have a large voter turnout on Tuesday, we’re gonna win this thing! Thank you all very much!”


“This is a pivotal moment in American history,” Sanders tells the crowd.

Voters “are asking themselves, ‘why should we accept more income and wealth inequality to be worse here in America than any time since 1928? Why should we accept a proliferation of millionaires and have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country in the world?’”

“These are the questions that millions of Americans are now asking themselves, and what they are concluding is that establishment politics and establishment economics are not gonna address those crises.”
