Ted Cruz on Wednesday dismissed Donald Trump’s dominant victory in New York and used the Republican presidential front-runner’s declaration that there isn’t much of a race anymore to rally his supporters in Pennsylvania.

“You may have heard there was an election yesterday, and as the media are breathlessly reporting, Donald Trump won his home state — truly a remarkable achievement,” Cruz said, mocking Trump’s win during a campaign stop in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Trump won more than 60 percent of the vote Tuesday and was declared the winner shortly after polls closed.

“Upon winning his home state, Donald, with a characteristic display of humility, declared this race is over, Manhattan has spoken, and if the rest of the voters would quietly go home now and allow him to give the general election to Hillary, all would be better,” Cruz continued. “And the media repeats this with great excitement.”

Cruz, who finished third in New York and won no delegates, argued that Trump was supposed to win his home state and touted his victories over the past three weeks as a sign that his campaign is still strong.

“There’s a reason Donald wants all of the lapdogs in the media to say that the race is over, because the three weeks that preceded yesterday, there were a total of five state that voted: Utah, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming,” he told supporters. “In all five, we won a landslide.”

The Texas senator claimed that the Manhattan real estate mogul and the media want voters to believe “Pennsylvania is a suburb of Manhattan.”

“That’s their telling: Manhattan has spoken and Pennsylvania will quietly file into obedience. You know what? I’ve got a lot more faith in the people of Pennsylvania. There’s 71 delegates that are going to be elected here in Pennsylvania,” said Cruz, who paused for a moment as a supporter shouted “You’re gonna take them.”

“We’re gonna take them,” Cruz said.

Polling, however, suggests otherwise. While Cruz and Kasich are neck-and-neck in Pennsylvania, Trump holds a dominant 20-point advantage over both. The state holds its primary Tuesday, along with Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Rhode Island.
