President Joe Biden is set to campaign for Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul in New York Sunday amid panic that she may lose against Republican Lee Zeldin.

Biden scheduled a campaign event with Hochul Sunday afternoon in Yonkers, according to a report from WNYC radio’s Capitol Press Room. The event is one of several high-profile stumps Biden has made for Hochul, and the latest rally that the incumbent Democrat has held with leading faces of her party. The event also comes amid reports of panic among Democrats that Hochul may very well lose to Zeldin on Tuesday.

The Hochul campaign confirmed the event to Capitol Press Room and The New York Times. The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Sunday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will also be in attendance, along with other party leaders. The event is a get-out-the-vote rally, attempting to drum up some enthusiasm among the Democratic base, the NYT added.

Biden previously attended an event on October 27 to promote the opening of a $1oo million semiconductor plant in New York. The Sunday event caps a busy week for Biden, who campaigned for Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist and Senate candidate Val Demings in Miami Gardens on November 1. Then on November 3, he traveled to New Mexico to stump for embattled Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. On Saturday, Biden campaigned for Democratic Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro and Senate candidate John Fetterman.

Earlier this week, Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared at another get-out-the-vote rally for women in support of Hochul.

Biden’s latest appearance in New York comes amid a report that Democrats in the state are panicking that Hochul could be on the losing end of a monumental upset in a state that has not elected a Republican governor since George Pataki in 2002.

According to a report from CNN, Democrats are bracing for a potential loss, and are blaming New York City Mayor Eric Adams for “overhyping the issue” of crime and “playing into right-wing narratives” that create fear among New Yorkers. “He was an essential validator in the city to make their attacks seem more legit and less partisan,” an anonymous Democratic campaign operative told CNN.

“The concern over crime is real. It is acute,” New York Congressman Mondaire Jones told the outlet. “But once this election is over, I hope people have an honest conversation about how Democrats like Eric Adams have validated a hysteria over crime that is uninformed and that has been debunked.”

Democrats’ panic is well warranted: a poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group showed that Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin holds a lead of just under one point against Hochul, 48.4%-47.6%, with 4% of voters undecided. Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert Cahaly also reported that Zeldin was pulling support from an interesting group of Democratic voters in the race.

“I’ve been saying that I had a theory, based on our last two #NYGov #polls, that what’s left of the #Cuomo machine could back @leezeldin,” Cahaly tweeted. Included in his tweet were two screenshots of hypothetical polls that showed disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo would have led Zeldin by 10 points, 55%-45%; a sizeable majority of voters said that Cuomo did a better job as governor than Hochul, 59.4% to 40.6%.

Nevada’s secretary of state refused to lift a ban on hand-counting mail-in ballots ahead of the Nov. 8 election despite pressure from conservatives over "concerns relating to the integrity of the election."

Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, a Republican, ordered election officials in Nye County last week to stop hand-counting ballots until the polls close on Election Day. 

Her order came after the Nevada Supreme Court issued an opinion that sided with the American Civil Liberties Union, which objected to officials reading individual votes out loud.

NEVADA JUDGE REJECTS GOP CLAIM OF VOTE COUNTING IN LAS VEGAS

Cegavske had invited county election officials to improve or better explain the procedures involved in their counter-proposal for a silent hand-count in a letter Friday. 

But the state Supreme Court ruling made it more difficult for Nye County officials to revise, submit and get approval for plans and then carry them out for the hand-count.

The ACLU and lawyers for Nye County are also engrossed in another ballot-counting related controversy after an ACLU observer was removed from the hand-count that lasted just two days before Cegavske suspended it Thursday.

Questions remain over why the observer was removed by an election official who was openly carrying a gun.

Nye County lawyers have claimed that the chairman of the county’s GOP Central Committee, who was legally armed, acted as a hand-count volunteer trained by county Interim Clerk Mark Kampf when she confronted the ACLU observer.

The GOP chair reportedly believed the ACLU observer was tallying the vote count, which is a violation of the recount rules.

The ACLU has disputed the accusations, and the issue is not expected to be resolved until after the Nov. 8 election, making it unlikely that a hand-count could resume before polls close next week.

Cegavske flagged a number of issues she was concerned with regarding the silent-count proposal. 

"There are no provisions in your plan describing the required use of medical-style gloves to further mitigate the risk of cheating or accidental marking nor a prescribed and standardized device for tallying to ensure any new mark could be quickly identified," she said. 

Cegavske also expressed concern over the attention it would require each silent counter. 

Nye County enacted a hand-count process following concerns over election integrity that stem from conspiracy theories relating to the accuracy of ballot-counting machines from the 2020 election. 

County lawyers penned a letter calling on Cegavske to launch an investigation into the hand-count after the ACLU accused county election officials of a "coordinated partisan election administration effort."

The ACLU doubled down on its stated concerns following the letter.
