Sanders, Rubio follow Cruz to Kansas in days before caucuses

JOHN HANNA, AP Political Writer

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and Republican hopeful Marco Rubio are following GOP rival Ted Cruz to Kansas in the final days before the state’s presidential caucuses.

Hundreds of people attended a Sanders rally Thursday evening in Lawrence. The Vermont senator’s supporters hope to overcome the backing former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enjoys among establishment Kansas Democratic Party figures such as former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

Rubio expanded his planned campaign swing Friday to three events. The Florida senator’s visit comes after Cruz, the Texas senator, visited a barbecue restaurant Wednesday in Olathe, and had a rally in Overland Park.

The state’s caucuses are Saturday. Here are some details.
