Sen. Bernie Sanders to campaign for Biden in Pittsburgh this weekend
With a little over a week to go until the election, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will make his return to Pittsburgh on Saturday as a surrogate for Joe Biden's presidential campaign.
The visit will be announced by Mr. Biden's campaign later this morning, and include events in the North Side and Rankin.
Last time Mr. Sanders came, it was for his own Democratic presidential bid in late 2019, when he spoke to a few hundred union members in a Downtown hotel and received the endorsement of the Pittsburgh-based United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America.
Now, Mr. Sanders will be here to help turn out union members to vote for Mr. Biden, and it will start with a rally with campaign volunteers and members of the Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ, on CCAC's Allegheny campus on Saturday morning.
