America's former first daughter Chelsea Clinton has told Sky News that her mother's message is resonating with large numbers of voters, even if some young Democrats support her rival Bernie Sanders.
Her rare on-camera comments to a journalist come just hours before the New York primary amid an increasingly sharp-toned battle for the Democratic party's nomination.
The Clinton campaign says Sanders is an idealist with little substance behind his rhetoric, and Hillary Clinton as a realist who can get things done.
Chelsea Clinton was speaking at a small Women For Hillary gathering in a wealthy Long Island suburb.
I asked her if she was worried about the large number of young Democrats supporting Mr Sanders.
She said: "I would never speak for someone who is supporting another candidate.
"I think certainly for my mum, she's gotten almost 2.4 million more votes than Senator Sanders has, so I would argue that says that her message is deeply resonating.
"But also as my mum said ... throughout this campaign, even if the young people who are voting aren't yet standing with her, she's always stood with them and always will."
