U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic candidate for president, will bring his campaign and message to South Dakota on Thursday with personal appearances in Rapid City and on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, according to a campaign press release.
The Vermont senator will hold a rally at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday at the new gym at the Pine Ridge School at 101 Thorpe Circle, in Pine Ridge. That will be followed by a 2 p.m. rally in Memorial Park in Rapid City. The senator will be present at both events, according to the release received late Monday night.
Sen. Sanders is fighting for the Democratic nomination against former Secretary of State and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has a strong lead in the delegate count. But Sanders has vowed to continue running until the Democratic convention and until the nomination is final.
The events are free and open to the public, though due to anticipated crowds, the public is encouraged to arrive as much as two hours prior to the speaking engagements. All members of the public will need to go through Secret Service screening, which can take a while because screening is handled one by one. For the full article click here
