It was 12 years ago that Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand flipped a Republican-held congressional seat. Now, as she seeks a second full term in the U.S. Senate, Gillibrand sees parallels as Democrats hope for a wave year.

“What I'm seeing is the energy in the grassroots. The fact that so many people are making phone calls tonight, they're overpouring campaign headquarters. I've seen that all across the state,” said Gillibrand.

The top of the Democratic ticket on Election Day eve spent the day stumping not for their own re-elections, but those running down the ballot for the House and state Senate. In Brooklyn, Cuomo stumped for Senate candidate Andrew Gounardes.

“I believe that turnout is going to be massive for the Democrats and I also believe we're going to do much better with moderate Republicans than you think,” said Cuomo.

Cuomo has sought to nationalize the race in New York as he seeks a third term, saying voting on Tuesday would send a message to President Donald Trump.

“They are just following a script. They are carrying Donald Trump's message,” said Cuomo.

Gillibrand meanwhile traveled the state to visit with volunteers making calls to voters urging them to go to the polls. She also pointed to the down ballot races, like the effort to flip the Senate.

“As you know, taking back the state Senate is one of the most important priorities for New York state. We can get a lot more done for a lot more people. It's why we opposed the IDC. Having a lot more candidates can actually make the difference,” said Gillibrand.

Republicans hold a narrow one-seat majority in the Senate and are defending five open seats this year.
