Bernie Sanders to campaign in Pittsburgh Thursday
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will make his first Pennsylvania campaign stop in Pittsburgh on Thursday with a rally at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center at Exhibit Hall C in the Cultural District.
Sanders will speak at 10 a.m.. The event is open to the public; the doors will open at 7:30 a.m., and organizers strongly suggest that supporters RSVP at the campaign website.
The Sanders presidential campaign set up its first Pittsburgh office on East Carson Street on the South Side last week. Rival Democrat Hillary Clinton set up her first Pennsylvania office in Pittsburgh last week as well; it is on North Highland Avenue in East Liberty.
Sanders heads to the Keystone State fresh off three impressive caucus victories Saturday in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii. In a press call Monday, Sanders' campaign officials said he had the momentum to topple Clinton in pledged delegates by June. His campaign officials also stressed that he can win the support of unpledged superdelegates to get the Democratic presidential nomination.
