Bernie Sanders had another huge political campaign rally last night. This one was in Portland, Maine, a city of just over 66,000 residents.
Alex Seitz-Wald, an MSNBC reporter, noted the crowd size on Twitter. "Official crowd count, per @BernieSanders campaign: 7,500, below some estimates for Portland event," wrote the reporter. "Portland has 66,000 residents."
