Trump, Stefanik campaign for vulnerable NY Republicans as Big Apple kicks off early voting

Former President Trump is campaigning for vulnerable House Republicans in New York Saturday evening alongside House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., a source familiar with the effort told Fox News Digital. 

Saturday also marked the first day of early in-person voting in the Empire State. 

A source told Fox News Digital early voting would be a central focus of the telephone rally, or "tele-rally," with key Republicans including Trump urging as many as 1 million listeners not to wait until Election Day to cast ballots.

"New York is Trump country," Stefanik said. "Hardworking New Yorkers support President Trump in record numbers. Far left New York Democrats like Kamala Harris and Kathy Hochul have failed our state, and their polling numbers are in free fall. I am incredibly grateful that President Trump continues to invest in our key battleground districts in New York."

Stefanik and her team are dialing out to nearly 1 million Trump supporters in a bid to raise enthusiasm ahead of Nov. 5, the source familiar with planning said.

Other New York Republican lawmakers expected on the call include representatives Nick LaLota, Anthony D'Esposito, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams, the source said.
