Sanders’ Appalachia Rally: Fighting Oligarchy with Standing-Room-Only Crowd
During his “Fighting Oligarchy Tour,” Senator Bernie Sanders visited West Virginia, where he addressed the crowd on healthcare cuts, social programs, and the influence of the billionaire class. Sanders criticized the potential impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, specifically highlighting the loss of healthcare for millions and cuts to nutrition programs. The senator’s West Virginia stops included both rallies and town halls, with impressive turnouts, even in areas that heavily supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Sanders continued his tour in North Carolina, where he planned additional rallies.
