Bernie Sanders is visiting Durham on Friday morning as part of his campaign stops during early voting in North Carolina ahead of the primary March 3. He is the second candidate to arrive this week, and a third plans to visit later this month.
Posted — UpdatedThis is the second day in a row a Presidential candidate visited North Carolina looking to rally support, with Sanders arriving in the Triangle hours after Candidate Michael Bloomberg made three stops across our state, including one in Raleigh.
Sanders is holding his rally at the Durham convention center at 11:30 a.m. Afterwards, he plans to speak to voters in Charlotte.
Sanders was just in the Triangle last year at UNC Chapel.
Since his win in New Hampshire, Sanders' campaign has ramped up staffing and has spent over 5 million dollars on ads here and in other Super Tuesday states.
