When the Bernie Sanders campaign says Arizona is a must-win state, it’s no joke. The beloved U.S. Senator from Vermont just announced another yoooooge campaign rally in Phoenix Saturday afternoon — his fourth event in Arizona this week.
The rally will be in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and doors open at 4 p.m. (RSVP for free tickets here.)
Arizona is one of three states holding primaries on Tuesday, and with 75 delegates up for grabs, both Sanders and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton are hoping for big wins. (Voting are Utah with 33 delegates, and Idaho with 23 delegates.)
In fact, according to political experts, if Sanders doesn’t win Arizona, his chances of winning the Democratic nomination dramatically decrease, which is why he’s pouring tons of energy and money into the state.
