15,000-20,000 people are suspected to march for Bernie today, starting at 1:00 pm.
The event is organized by People for Bernie and will lead all the way from Foley Square over Lafayette Street to Union Square.
The warm up rally at Foley Park is already under way, and the Berners are showing off their creativity in colorful signs.
On Monday, I went to a bar night for young Hillary supporters (read about it here). Turns out not every young person on the planet is feeling the Bern. And they can tell you why.

The New York Post endorsed Donald Trump in the Republican Primary – even though they call him a rookie candidate who makes rookie mistakes
“Yet the promise is clearly there in the rookie who is, after all, leading the field as the finals near.
Trump has electrified the public, drawing millions of new voters to the polls and inspiring people who’d given up on ever again having a candidate who’d fight for them.
That’s the work of the Donald Trump we know — a New Yorker, born and bred.”
The New York Times had one of their reporters grade our New York candidates – Sanders, Clinton and Trump – on how New York they are. Seems like Bernie scored the most pizzas, but the debate is still ongoing. Check it out here.
After two – loud, chaotic and political – hours of prepetation, the Brooklyn Debate is finally on. And while Hillary and Bernie get right into it on stage, the spin room is quiet for the first time today.
In fact, it feels like we are all back in high school during a dictation.
No time to wait for transcripts here. Even NBC’s Andrea Mitchell herself types along meticously. Don’t want to miss anything after all.
“If you both scream over each other, the viewers won’t hear what you are saying.” – favorite Wolf Blitzer line in the press room
I just finished the press walk trough the set of tonight’s Democratic Debate.
CNN says that – after the long back and forth between Sanders and Clinton- this is the shortest time they have ever had to pull off a debate and build a set.
The set is housed in a glasshouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where warships were build during WW2.
Outside you have a beautiful view of the Williamsburg Bridge.
I just arrived at the press room (or better call it press factory) at the CNN #DemDebate. I will post here from time to time and also tweet troughout the day, follow me at @lillymmaier.
This is Bernie Sanders speaking to thousands of people at a rally at Washington Square Park in Manhattan tonight.
This is how far I made it.
I mean look at these lines. And then imagine them entering trough two tiny Secret Service tents.
It’s the logistical nightmare you get, when you plan a rally in Manhattan in a park with a huge construction site on top of it. Oh well.
But then, who needs to see the real Bernie Sanders when you can have this?
