Sanders campaign says Sunday rally drew more than 28,000, his largest audience to date


NEW YORK — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders’s campaign said his rally on Sunday in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park drew more than 28,000 people, which would make it the largest such event for a candidate who routinely generates large, boisterous crowds.

“In case you haven’t noticed, there are a lot of people here," Sanders, who was born in Brooklyn, said at the outset of his remarks.

The largest crowd count for the senator from Vermont before Sunday had come at a August rally in Portland, Ore. The staff at the venue estimated that 28,000 people attended that event.

Aides to Sanders said Sunday’s crowd totaled 28,356. The figure was attributed to a representative from a company that helped produce the event. Aides said the company also works for Clinton’s campaign.

My husband and I were watching a program on Netflicks today on the 60's. The similarities between him and RFK are so eerie. Bernie is so inspiring when he talks. It doesn't surprise me there were that many people that showed up.
