Hilary Clinton also two events today: one in Los Angeles and one in Commerce. And Donald Trump is expected to hit the region this week as well.

Yesterday, Sanders spoke to a large crowd on a baseball diamond in Lincoln Heights.

"It was pretty sunny, everybody was outdoors in the middle of the day," said Megan Razzetti, a student at East LA College and editor for the Campus News, who attended the rally. "Everybody was decked out, everybody had signs [and] for the most part it was pure supporters."

However, Razzetti noted, there were still die-hard Clinton supporters in the neighborhood – many of whom attended a rally from the former Secretary of State at East Los Angeles College earlier this month.
