Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders drew a crowd of about 4,500 people to a rally in Kenner, Louisiana, on Sunday, his campaign estimated, continuing his pattern of gathering enthusiastic audiences across the country.
While the audience at the Pontchartrain Center wasn’t the biggest the Vermont senator had seen, it was noteworthy in another way: A month earlier, Republican Governor Bobby Jindal drew a crowd of about 1,000 people to the same venue for his presidential campaign announcement, according to the Times-Picayune.
