CLEVELAND, Ohio – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent running for president as a Democrat, will visit union workers this Sunday in Lordstown, the campaign announced Wednesday.

Sanders will hold a town hall meeting with members of the United Auto Workers and the American Federation of Teachers at 1 p.m. at Lordstown High School. The event is closed to the public.

The Lordstown GM factory closure left 1,400 workers without a job. Other businesses in the area that relied on the factory have felt the ripple effects.

Politically, the factory represents something of a weak point for Republican President Donald Trump, who won Ohio and finished strong in the traditionally Democratic Mahoning Valley.
