"Hillary! Hillary!" crowds chanted as she walked slowly to shake hands and pose for photos, flanked by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Edie Windsor, the lead plaintiff in one of the cases, endorsed Clinton on Sunday, saying "Hillary is the president who will fight to get us there. Because she knows what I know: Love trumps hate, the United States Constitution endures and justice will ultimately prevail."
