Bernie Sanders emphasizes solidarity during rally on Ohio State campus
Teamwork was the focus of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ address to the crowd that assembled in the Schottenstein Center on Sunday night to catch a glimpse of the Democratic presidential candidate before Tuesday’s Ohio primary.
“I think on Tuesday, we are going to win here in Ohio. And the reason we are going to win is we are in the process together of revitalizing American democracy,” Sanders said at the “Future to Believe In” rally. “If we stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.”
In the hour leading up to the senator’s arrival, chants of “feel the ‘Bern’” echoed through the arena while an eclectic mixtape of music, ranging from Muse to Bob Marley, blared through the speakers suspended above a mass of blue-sign-waving supporters.
Ohio State student Morgan Johnson, a third-year in public affairs, spoke to the crowd before Sanders took the stage.
“For once, it feels like it is going to be ‘we the people’ again. It is not going to be ‘we the money’ or ‘we the lobbyists,’ it is going to be ‘we the people,’ one person, one vote,” said Johnson, who serves as state director of College Students for Bernie in Ohio. “(Sanders) has inspired action, we have seen young people around the country getting together.”
