BERNIE-MENTUM Precedes Clinton’s Visit To South Carolina
Share with Friends......
As Hillary Clinton prepared to return to the Palmetto State Wednesday, her top rival for the Democratic nomination was “feeling the Bern.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign Tuesday night decided to move an event planned for Sunday in Charleston to a larger venue after more than 1,000 signed up to attend on the campaign’s website.
“The response in South Carolina has been tremendous,” said Phil Fiermonte, the campaign’s national field director. “The interest in Bernie and his message about rebuilding our middle class is resonating in South Carolina like it is in other states around the country.”
On Monday, the executive board of the South Carolina AFL-CIO passed a resolution supporting Sanders’ candidacy. “We firmly believe that Senator Bernie Sanders is the strongest candidate articulating our issues,” the labor union wrote, calling on “union members and working people everywhere to unite behind Bernie Sanders and elect the President America’s workers desperately need.”
