Presidential hopeful Sanders to campaign in Minneapolis

Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is planning a campaign stop in Minneapolis this weekend.

He'll be talking with voters and eating bagels at the SEIU Local 26 office on Sunday.

The email advertising the event says Sanders will be here to "discuss how to take back our country from the billionaires."

Sanders, who is a liberal but runs for office as an independent, is running to the left of Democrat Hillary Clinton. He has said that Clinton's wealth could alienate her from working-class voters.
