Overflow crowd in south Minneapolis hears Bernie Sanders this morning

Source: Strib

An overflow crowd converged in south Minneapolis to hear from Bernie Sanders, the U.S. senator from Vermont who is running for the Democratic nomination for president.

The line snaked for some time outside the American Indian Center on E. Franklin Avenue for the town hall meeting, which began about 10 a.m. Attendees were standing inside and others were left to wait outside.

Speaking from Minneapolis, Sanders appeared on NBC-TV’s “Meet the Press” shortly before the event and said he wants the presidential hopefuls to start debating as soon as July.

He added that he’d like to see Republican candidates included, rather than the two parties keeping their pre-convention verbal battles separate until the nominees are chosen.
