Over 28,000 people showed up to hear presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speak in Portland, Oregon, on Sunday, setting the record for the largest crowd to attend one of his campaign events, and in the 2016 presidential race thus far. More than 19,000 people filled an NBA arena while around 9,000 others stood outside hoping to get in, said Michael Lewellen, vice president of corporate communications for the arena, reports CNN . Altogether, Lewellen said a total of 28,000 people tried to attend the event, which was live-streamed on his campaign’s web site. “Whoa!” Sanders said as he took stage at the Moda Center, where the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers play. “This is an unbelievable turnout”/Latin Post.
