Republican congressional candidate Anthony Constantino is telling New York Republicans to stop watching the polls and start making a plan. In an interview with Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM Patriot 125, the Sticker Mule CEO and Trump-endorsed hopeful in New York's 21st Congressional District warned that Democratic ideology is "destructive" and urged voters to turn out for every Republican on the ballot.
"The best thing the American people can do right now is to make a plan to vote. Vote like crazy, and vote for every Republican you can find. Vote for myself and Bruce Blakeman in New York state," Constantino said, according to Breitbart. Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, is running for governor of New York in the 2026 cycle.
Asked by Breitbart host Matthew Boyle how he is driving Republican turnout in the final days before the midterm election, Constantino pointed to a two-track push: social media outreach and a closing rally with Vice President JD Vance. That rally is scheduled for Monday in Rome, New York, at the Skydome Hangar — billed by the campaign as the largest indoor drone test facility in the United States, per WPTZ. It lands one day before Election Day.
An Outsider Campaign With Trump's Blessing
Constantino is not running a conventional race. According to WAMC, he has put $17 million of his own money into the campaign and boasts an endorsement list that includes House Speaker Mike Johnson, the National Rifle Association, and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson — along with Trump himself. The president announced his backing on Truth Social, writing that it is his "Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Anthony Constantino, who is running to represent the wonderful people of New York's 21st Congressional."
WAMC reports that Constantino has leaned into political theater throughout the race — debating an inflatable chicken standing in for his Democratic opponent, Blake Gendebien, and releasing a rap album titled "Thank you President Trump." His campaign advertising stresses his self-funding: "No special interest money. No strings attached. Anthony Constantino is nobody's man but yours," one ad says, according to WAMC.
The seat is open because Rep. Elise Stefanik vacated it. Constantino lost the special-election nomination fight to replace her last year, according to WAMC, after threatening an independent run if party leaders passed him over — then won the primary with Trump's endorsement against a field the GOP establishment had lined up behind.
The Other Side: Gendebien Camp Says Vance Visit Signals Trouble
Gendebien's campaign manager, Michael Waller, fired back at news of the Vance rally. "You don't fly the Vice President into a plus-24 seat the day before the election unless you know you're losing it," Waller said in a statement to WPTZ. "Blake has spent this campaign showing up in Rome and every town across the North Country. Constantino needed a federal escort to find it."
The Washington Post, which profiled the race two days ago, framed the contest around whether a blue wave could swamp a Trump superfan in a district that has voted reliably red. Constantino's answer, per his Breitbart interview, is turnout — the same message Vance is expected to amplify in Rome on Monday.
The closing message is simple: with one day left, the campaign is telling supporters the race is not over until the ballots are cast, and that a vote for Constantino is a vote for the Trump agenda in a state Democrats have dominated for years.
Our Take
Here is the tell in this race: the Gendebien campaign's first instinct wasn't to talk about the North Country's problems — it was to spin the Vice President's visit as a sign of weakness. That's what you say when you don't want to talk about the issues. Constantino is a self-funder who owes nothing to the party bosses, ran against the establishment and won the primary anyway, and now has the president and the vice president closing for him in Rome. If the Democrats really had this seat locked down, they wouldn't be measuring drapes.
The real message for patriots is the one Constantino is delivering: make a plan, vote like crazy, and vote for every Republican on the ticket — Constantino for Congress, Blakeman for governor. Early voting and mail ballots are already in play, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Every Republican in New York's 21st District should know where their polling place is and when they're going. If you haven't made your plan yet, make it now — and bring a neighbor with you.
