This year’s Halloween came just eight days before Election Day in the US, so it’s no surprise that many of the revelers at New York’s Village Halloween Parade were dressed in politically-themed costumes.

Bruce Gilden spent time at the 2016 parade photographing some of the “Hillarys” and “Donalds” in attendance.
