LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Only days after President Trump came to visit Kentucky, Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, is scheduled to hold a rally.

Sen. Sanders plans to discuss economic issues, equality, education, and climate control. He scheduled to speak at Louisville's public plaza at 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 25.

The Commonwealth's Electoral College votes have not gone toward a Democratic Presidential Candidate since President Bill Clinton won his re-election campaign in 1996. Although, Louisville voters historically cast their ballots for Democrats. Sen. Sanders is hoping the visit will help is election in the long run. 

"The reason Bernie would come is because Louisville is attracting a lot of younger people, that are college educated. Visiting these cities keeps them fired up. He can get volunteers out of that and those resources allow him to run a primary campaign," Chris Coyle, a political lecturer at Bellarmine University, said.

Coyle says the timing of Sanders' visit is likely no coincidence.

"It gives him an opportunity to compare and contrast himself to (Pres.) Donald Trump because he ultimately wants to win the primary, and that will be his opponent. So, it gives him the opportunity to come in and say this: 'Trump was here this is what he talked about, I’m here this is what I’m about.'" 

Students on Bellarmine's Campus agree that voters on either side would benefit from attending public events held by politicians.

“It’s really important to see who you’re voting for. Like, who is in the running for everything. It’s really important to know what they’re about, like if they’re just trying to find something to be a part of or if they already have something they’re apart of and they want to spread the word about it," Jordyn Mcdonnaugh, a freshman, said.
