U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont will campaign in Scranton on Saturday for Hillary Clinton and Katie McGinty.

According to a news release issued by the Clinton campaign, Sanders will discuss Clinton’s plan to build an economy that “works for everyone, not just those at the top” and Donald Trump’s plan “which would benefit himself and other millionaires and billionaires like him.”

In the Scranton area, Sanders will attend a rally with Pennsylvania educators. The event will be held at Scranton High School, 63 Mike Munchak Way, Scranton. Doors open to the public at 9:30 a.m. and the program is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.

Sanders will also appear later Saturday at a rally in the Philadelphia area to discuss raising the minimum wage, combating climate change and moving to sustainable energy, making public colleges and universities tuition free, and ending “a broken criminal justice system.”
