Sanders Campaigns in Republican Districts: A Democratic Strategy?
Senator Bernie Sanders will hold rallies in Kenosha and Altoona, Wisconsin, targeting Republican-held congressional districts to boost Democratic turnout in upcoming elections. These events aim to counter what Sanders’ campaign calls a “takeover of the national government by billionaires,” and pressure Representatives Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden on their voting records. The rallies precede Wisconsin’s crucial spring election, featuring races for the state Supreme Court and Superintendent of Public Instruction. Sanders’ visit has drawn criticism from Van Orden and Steil, who oppose his political stances.
