NC-04: Bernie Sanders' Durham visit highlights political divide in primary
DURHAM — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders took the stage to roaring cheers as hundreds of people in the Durham Convention Center rose to their feet.
The independent from Vermont visited the Tar Heel State as part of his Fighting Oligarchy Tour. He spoke in Greensboro on Thursday, addressing wealth inequality and universal healthcare.
But the Durham stop on Friday wasn’t just for him to meet more North Carolinians. Sanders took advantage of the opportunity to stump for Nida Allam — a current Durham County commissioner and former state political director for Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.
Allam is mounting a progressive challenge to incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, a fixture in Orange County politics. Foushee, who has represented the district for two terms, was a former state senator and Orange County commissioner.
