Bernie Sanders to Visit North Carolina on February 26-27, 2020 *Updated
WASHINGTON－Less than two weeks before Super Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders will return to North Carolina this Wednesday and Thursday, February 26th and 27th, to attend a presidential forum on poverty with Rev. William Barber at Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro and a rally in Winston-Salem. The visit comes on the heels of rallies in Durham and Charlotte last week that drew more than 5,200 attendees.
The trip announcement follows news that fifteen progressive leaders from across the state of North Carolina are backing the senator’s presidential campaign. As early voting continues across the state, a recent North Carolina primary poll shows Sen. Sanders leading the Democratic field among likely voters in the Tar Heel State.
Following the Winston-Salem rally, volunteers and supporters will cast ballots for Bernie Sanders at the one-stop early voting site at Winston-Salem State University.
