Sanders rallies 5,200 in Greenville, kicking off final SC push
Sen. Bernie Sanders drew a loud crowd of more than 5,200 to the Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Sunday evening, fresh off a closer-than-expected loss to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Nevada Democratic caucus.
Sanders lost by five percentage points, but reminded the crowd in Greenville how far the campaign had come.
"Just five months ago, they had us down 25 points in Nevada," Sanders said. "Clearly, some things have changed."
Sanders is still trailing Clinton in South Carolina by an average of 24 percentage points in the polls, although that has gone down since last week, when he was down by an average of 29 percentage points. The Greenville rally signified the kick-off of Sanders' final push in his campaign for the South Carolina Democratic primary, which will be held on Saturday.
