Bernie's Coming To Shore Up Colorado

9NEWS reported Saturday:

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders is holding a rally in Denver in two weeks.

Reservations are recommended, his website says.

This will be Sanders’ first visit to Colorado during the 2020 campaign, which will hold its presidential primary on Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020, an email from the Sanders campaign said.

The recent Emerson poll of the Democratic presidential primary field put Bernie Sanders ahead of Joe Biden by a statistically insignificant single point, with Elizabeth Warren rapidly closing on them both with 20% support. Bernie won the Colorado caucus in 2016 and has a strong base of support on the Colorado Democratic Party’s left flank, but with most of the momentum in recent months consisting of Warren’s support growing while Sanders remains relatively static, a Sanders win in Colorado on Super Tuesday is by no means assured.

So we’ll be watching to see what Civic Center Park looks like when Bernie takes the stage a week from today.
