Bernie Sanders to speak at UNC on Thursday, kicking off local college tour
Bernie Sanders is bringing his college tour to UNC Chapel Hill on Thursday.
The Vermont senator is running in the Democratic presidential primary to take on Republican President Donald Trump in the 2020 elections. Sanders lost the 2016 Democratic primary to Hillary Clinton, though his upstart campaign made it farther than nearly anyone predicted and earned him a devoted following.
In North Carolina, he got just under 41% of the vote compared to Clinton’s 54.5%.
