Bernie Sanders Might Skydive Into His Campaign Rally

You didn’t misread that headline: Bernie Sanders might enter his Friday rally in Cloverville, California by skydiving in.

NorCal Skydiving told Bay-area newspaper The Press Democrat that they were approached by a Sanders campaign staffer Wednesday about the possibility of making an entrance from the sky. The following day, a campaign staffer went skydiving as a sort of practice run, but there’s still no word about whether they’ll go through with the idea.

“I’ve been told they will run the idea by Bernie,” jumpmaster Jimmy Halliday said. “I can’t confirm that’s the plan. I know that’s a possibility.”

The rally will be held at Cloverdale Municipal Airport at 7:30 local time. Only adding to the mystery, airport manager Michael Morrissey tells The Press Democrat that Sanders is “supposed to make a grand entrance.”
