US Vermont senatorā€™s tour with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes has been drawing record-breaking crowds since February

The Vermont senatorĀ Bernie SandersĀ drew a record-breaking crowd at his rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, which included musical acts from Joan Baez and Neil Young, who encouraged the crowd to ā€œtake America backā€.

Sandersā€™s Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go from Here tour has been drawing massive crowds. Aided by the progressive New York representativeĀ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the team set the record in Tempe, Arizona, for biggest-ever political rally in that state three weeks ago. In Denver, Colorado, more than 34,000 people showed up ā€“ a career-high crowd for the 83-year-old Sanders. Saturday in Los Angeles saw another record: at least 36,000 people packed a downtown park.

    lol, I saw ā€œthousandsā€ and was expecting 3,500 or something. It would have been just as efficient to say the exact number.
