J.D. Vance to Campaign with Constantino in Upstate New York

The visit comes as Cook Political Report has shifted the district from solid Republican to lean Republican and recent polls show a close race.

  • Vice President JD Vance will headline a rally for Republican candidate Anthony Constantino in Rome on Monday, the day before Election Day, in New York's 21st Congressional District where President Donald Trump won by 21 points in 2024.
  • Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule, faces Democrat Blake Gendebien to replace Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. The Cook Political Report has twice adjusted the district's rating this year, moving from "solid Republican" to "lean Republican."
  • Michael Waller, Gendebien's campaign manager, said the visit signals Republican anxiety: "You dont fly the Vice President into a plus-24 seat the day before the election unless you know youre losing it." The campaign characterized the visit as evidence of Republican concern.
  • U.S. Secret Service agents surveyed Ogdensburg International Airport this week to assess its suitability for the Vice President's arrival. Agents determined Vance would instead land at the Fort Drum military base airfield in Jefferson County.
  • Early voting has surged in the district compared to two years ago, with St. Lawrence County seeing a 196% increase during the first two days. This heightened activity reflects intensified efforts by both parties to secure the Congressional Seat.
