Bernie Sanders to Tour Midwest Battleground States **Updated
Sanders to hold rallies in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania to highlight Democrats’ path to victory in 2020
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will visit battleground states in the Midwest on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Sanders will hold rallies in Madison, Wisconsin, Warren, Michigan and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He will also meet with community members in Gary, Indiana, and union workers in Coopersville, Michigan, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
In Lordstown, Ohio, Sanders will sit down with AFT President Randi Weingarten, experts and workers in the community to discuss everything from plant closures to schools.
Sanders will end the swing with a stop in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to participate in a town hall hosted by FOX News.
The tour will emphasize that Democrats’ clearest and strongest path to victory in 2020 runs through the upper Midwest -- and that Bernie Sanders is by far the best-positioned candidate to win these states and defeat Donald Trump. At rallies in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania -- three states that flipped and voted for Donald Trump in 2016 -- Sanders will deliver a message focused on fighting against unfair trade deals that undermine workers wages and enrich CEOs, rebuilding and strengthening unions and guaranteeing health care as a right to all with Medicare for All.
