"We need to stand together to make a political revolution where we create an America that works for all of us,” he continued. “Enough is enough—the billionaires are not going to have it, it’s our country. Let’s create that nation!” Citing figures from the Phoenix Convention Center, Sanders’ campaign spokesman said 11,347 people attended the rally.
