Bernie Sanders will hold a huge rally in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Friday morning as the underdog Democratic candidate brings his political revolution into the heart of deep red territory as he continues to battle frontrunner Hillary Clinton for every precious delegate. The Idaho Democratic caucuses, with 27 delegates available, take place on Tuesday, and Clinton does not even have a campaign appearance scheduled in the state.
But Sanders, trailing Clinton by more than 300 delegates, will rise and shine for an early morning rally at a local high school gym in Idaho Falls, a city of fewer than 60,000, the largest city in eastern Idaho, in a rural area known for voting heavily Republican as is the entire state of Idaho.
But Sanders has not taken the state for granted, and though Democratic polling in the state has been sparse, what little polling there has been shows that Sanders has erased what just one month ago had been a 12-point lead among Democrats in the state.
According to the Idaho Politics Weekly/Dow Jones poll, Sanders now leads Clinton by a slim two-point margin, 47 percent to 45 percent.
With the states proportional method of allocating delegates, if the poll is accurate Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton will roughly split the 27 delegates which may be why Sanders is venturing into Idaho for with his signature A Future To Believe In rally, in an apparent attempt to push up his share of the vote and as a result, the delegate haul.
Watch a live stream of the Bernie Sanders Idaho Falls rally in the video below. The Future To Believe In event is scheduled to get underway at 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time at Skyline High School Auxiliary Gym on Blue Sky Drive in Idaho Falls. For Sanders supporters in the Eastern Time Zone, that start time will be 10:30 a.m. 7:30 a.m. Pacific.
After the Idaho Falls rally, Sanders heads south to Salt Lake City, Utah, for a 12:30 p.m. event, and then down to Tucson, Arizona, where Sanders will hold yet another rally, at 4:30 p.m. local time.
Both Utah and Arizona hold their primaries on March 22, the same day as the Idaho caucuses.
The morning rally in Idaho comes just hours after an evening event Thursday in Flagstaff, Arizona. Watch a full replay of that earlier Bernie Sanders rally in the video below.
An online live stream is often the only way to see Bernie Sanders deliver what he calls his radical ideas of political revolution to a live audience. Sanders and his supporters have complained of a blackout against Sanders by the major television news outlets.
The New York Times published a study this week of how much free media coverage each 2016 presidential candidate has received, translated into dollar figures. According to the study, Sanders has received the third-most free media coverage, worth $321 million, less than half of the value received by Hillary Clinton, which was $746 million.
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump dominates the free media realm, with more than $1.8 billion worth of coverage gratis from TV networks, newspapers, and online sources.
