U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont will hold a rally on Friday in support of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, her campaign announced today.

The Oct. 7 rally will be held at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor at 10:30 a.m. Doors will open at 9 30 a.m., according to a news release from the Clinton campaign.

Sanders, who ran against Clinton in the party's primary, handily won the Maine vote in March, besting Clinton 64 percent to 36 percent.

The visit comes as recent polls show Clinton trailing Republican nominee Donald Trump in the state's northern 2nd Congressional District, which includes Bangor.

On site parking is available and can be accessed from Buck Street.

Here's how to RSVP for the event.
