PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is coming to Portland at the end of the week.
The Vermont senator’s campaign announced on Wednesday that he will hold a rally in Portland on Friday at the Moda Center, home of the Portland Trail Blazers.
Sanders has campaigned in Washington state and Idaho during the past week.
Last Saturday he drew a crowd of about 7,500 at a rally across the river in Vancouver, Washington.
Sanders’ Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and her husband Bill have been campaigning in the region ahead of Saturday’s caucuses in Washington state. Bill Clinton stopped in Portland for a surprise visit on Monday.
Sanders is popular in the Northwest. He packed the Moda Center during a rally there last August.
Oregon’s primary is May 17.
