As New Yorkers vote, the candidates stress their New York credentials.

Donald Trump personifies New York. He’s born here and lives in his own skyscraper, Trump Tower, on one of the city’s grandest boulevards. Democrat Bernie Sanders grew up in more modest accommodations.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, happily hops on the subway. She was, after all, a New York senator for eight years.
