The event is Trump’s final rally before Tuesday’s primary in the Empire State. According to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump is a heavy favorite, leading with 52.6 percent support.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz both trail the real estate mogul by wide margins. Kasich currently sits second with 22.9 percent while Cruz garners only 17.9 percent backing.
Ryan is entering his second year as coach of the Bills after spending six years with the Jets.
