Bernie Sanders Rally in Queensbridge Park

New York — Following a well received debate performance, Health scare, and a strong endorsement from “the squad”, Bernie was expected to bring out a huge crowd. However, no one could have anticipated the massive amount of people whom would show up and fill Queensbridge Park over capacity.

According to reporting from Politico, Bernie’s rally attendance has surpassed events held by both Warren, just a few weeks earlier, and Kamala Harris. With a reported 26,000 people in attendance and scenes of people having to listen from the bridge above due to the park being over capacity, one could conclude that Bernie is indeed back.

However, the campaign is going to face some significant hurdles in the future. One challenge is how to reverse Bernie’s stagnant numbers in the polls specifically in key states like Iowa. The campaign is well funded, but money will only go so far if your appeal is not resonating with those voters.

If Bernie can keep up the momentum from his rally in New York City and off the recent endorsements from AOC, Ilhan Omar, Michael Moore, and others; His campaign could have a shot at winning the nomination.
