At Winthrop rally, Sanders draws support of the young

It seems appropriate that Bernie Sanders finished his latest swing through South Carolina on the campus of Winthrop University on Saturday.

The 74-year-old senator from Vermont, a 25-year veteran of Congress, has become a favorite of younger voters in the race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

Thousands lined up outside Byrnes Auditorium before the doors opened at 6:30 p.m. The venue for the event had been changed from the West Center to accommodate a crowd larger than initially expected. Byrnes has seating for 3,500, and organizers estimated about 3,000 supporters attended.

Saturday’s rally also attracted some older voters, like Rose Schwietert, but even she said this was the first political event she’s ever attended.
