PHOENIX — Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders was in Arizona Thursday.
The rally was scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the same venue where President Donald Trump held a rally last month.
Sanders started out by talking about the other candidates in the Democratic primary. He welcomed Elizabeth Warren's supporters to back his campaign after she ended her presidential bid on Thursday. Sanders also talked about Joe Biden, calling him his friend before talking about the differences between him and Biden.
Sanders also talked about his plans for healthcare, immigration, the environment and his hopes of defeating Donald Trump in the presidential election.
"So that is what this campaign is about, it's saying that the working families of this country deserve a fair shake, that we are tired of the massive levels of income and wealth inequality," he said.
Throughout Sanders' speech, a few alt-right protesters and Trump supporters tried to disrupt the rally but were escorted out.
"I think that gentleman is also outnumbered today," Sanders said as one of them was escorted out.
Bernie Sanders comes to Arizona
In the end, he asked the crowd to spread the word and make sure everybody votes in the upcoming Arizona Democratic primary.
"Let us do everything we can to make sure that Arizona has the highest voter turnout in the history of the Arizona primary," Sanders said.
Sanders is in a delegate race with Joe Biden for the nomination. Sanders has performed well in states with high Latino populations like Nevada and California.
