AOC and Sanders Fight Oligarchy in Western US Tour
Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders launched a three-day tour across the Southwest, rallying Democrats against what they termed a move towards oligarchy by figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Large crowds attended their events in Las Vegas and Tempe, Arizona, where Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the need for policies like universal healthcare and a living wage. Ocasio-Cortez’s comments hinted at a potential challenge to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, while the tour contrasted sharply with the reception some Republicans and moderate Democrats have faced amidst anti-DOGE protests. The tour will conclude with rallies in Colorado and a return to Arizona.
