At the first stop of their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour in Las Vegas, Democratic lawmakers Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke out against President Donald Trump while also criticizing their own party for not fighting hard enough. They called for a Democratic Party that stands up for the working class and urged voters to choose elected officials who prioritize their needs.
During the event, Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders highlighted the stark income and wealth inequality in the country, appealing directly to working-class voters in states like Nevada. They emphasized the need for a unified front despite political differences, encouraging people to fight for one another.
The duo plans to hold multiple town hall events to mobilize voters against Trump and his policies, focusing on rallying support among working-class Americans. Sanders, in particular, is targeting Republican voters in districts narrowly won by Republicans in 2024 to oppose potential cuts to entitlement programs and social services.
Despite criticism aimed at Trump, Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders are also facing discontent within the Democratic Party. Some party members, including Rep. Ro Khanna, have suggested that Ocasio-Cortez should challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a primary in 2028. The lawmakers are responding to growing frustration among voters who want to see their leaders take a more aggressive stance against Trump and his administration.
