Clinton closes the New York primary by campaigning like a mayor
Chappaqua, New York (CNN) — Hillary Clinton, confident that winning the New York primary on Tuesday could all but lock up the Democratic nomination, campaigned in the days leading up to the contest more like a New York City mayoral candidate than someone running for president.
During a frenetic eight-stop day in New York City on Monday, Clinton stopped at a car wash in Queens to celebrate recently unionized workers, drank boba tea and chatted with workers steaming dumplings in Flatbush and got ice cream -- booing a reporter who asked about calories -- in the East Village.
The close contact, jam-packed campaigning was unique for Clinton who is considered a less-than-stellar retail politician. It also came on the heels of a whirlwind fundraising trip to California, so the frenzy of New York stops was well timed on the eve of the primary.
Hillary and Bill Clinton voted on Tuesday morning at Douglas G. Grafflin Elementary School in Chappaqua, the same polling place they have been visiting since 2000, when the couple moved from the White House to the small hamlet north of New York City.
As Chappaqua's most famous residents, their voting was as much a campaign stop as it was a civic duty. The Clintons were greeted by around 50 supporters at the polling location, all positioned 100 feet away from the door in order to follow New York election law.
Inside the polling place, people in line to vote urged the 2016 candidate to jump the line and cast her ballot.
"No, you need to vote," one prospective voter said to the possible Democratic nominee.
"I wonder who they voted for," whispered another woman to her friend.
