MADISON, WI (WSAU) — Bernie Sanders, one of the front-runners for the Democratic presidential nomination, is holding a rally on Friday in Madison at James Madison Park.
The stop is part of a weekend of appearances through swing states that Donald Trump won in the 2016 campaign. On Saturday, Sanders will appear at a community college in Warren, Michigan followed by a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Sunday.
Sanders’ Madison rally begins at 5 PM. Doors will open at 3:30. No tickets are required, but the Sandars camp is asking those who would like to attend to RSVP online. He is also expected to add events in Ohio and Indiana in the coming weeks.
The Vermont Senator also held a rally in Iowa last weekend.
Sanders won the 2016 Wisconsin Democratic primary over Hillary Clinton, with his rallies in Madison drawing some of the largest crowds of his campaign.
A statement from the Sanders campaign says winning swing-states in the upper Midwest is “the clearest, strongest path to victory in 2020.”
