Bernie Sanders is returning to in-person campaigning for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March, heading to the battleground states of New Hampshire and Michigan to promote Joe Biden and soothe any lingering tensions between the Democratic Party’s progressive and centrist wings.

Spokesman Mike Casca said the Vermont senator will hold a socially distanced outdoor rally on Saturday in Lebanon, New Hampshire, which will be capped to keep crowds from growing too large.
