Sen. Bernie Sander (I., Vt.) is scheduled to return to Iowa City, Iowa in August to promote his latest book, his first trip to the city since the end of his 2016 presidential campaign.
The Prairie Lights bookstore in Iowa City announced in a news release that the Vermont senator will discuss his newest book, Bernie Sanders: Guide to Political Revolution, at 7 p.m. on Aug. 31, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported Monday.
Before Sanders launched his 2016 presidential bid, Prairie Lights hosted Sanders to read from his book, The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and The Decline of Our Middle Class, in February 2015.
"We had three days to promote that event and we got 150 people to show up," said Jan Weissmiller, co-owner of Prairie Lights.
Sanders narrowly lost the 2016 Iowa Democratic caucuses to Hillary Clinton but won Johnson County by about 20 points.
The senator's coming trip to Iowa may raise speculation that he is mulling a presidential bid in 2020, when he would be 79 years old.
