Estimated 5,000-plus supporters attend Bernie Sanders rally in Raleigh
Bernie Sanders returned to North Carolina to rally an estimated 5,000-plus supporters in the final days before the state’s Democratic presidential primary.
The Vermont senator scheduled a campaign event at midday Friday at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts. North Carolina is one of five states holding presidential primaries next Tuesday. Hundreds of supporters arrived early to land a seat inside.
The Vermont senator was introduced by supporter and Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard.

Approximately 2,400 people were inside the auditorium for the rally. According to Sanders’ campaign, another 3,000 were outside listening to the speech. Some in attendance climbed trees to get a better view of Sanders when he addressed the crowd outside before his speech inside.
