Bernie Sanders Returns Home To Brooklyn


BRONX, New York (WABC) -- Bernie Sanders is back in the old neighborhood Friday.

The democratic presidential candidate will host two large public rallies in the afternoon, 3 p.m. outside his childhood home in Midwood, then a 5 p.m. rally in a waterfront park in Greenpoint.

His childhood home is on East 26th Street; he graduated from James Madison High School. Hollywood's "The Hulk" Mark Ruffalo is expected to attend that rally.

He will then head to Transmitter Park for an event with actress Susan Sarandon, who lives in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Sanders will be going to Harlem Saturday night for a community event at 6 p.m. the the Apollo Theater on West 125 Street.
