WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will travel to Minnesota this weekend to hold a get-out-the-vote rally with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and a town hall focused on organizing and energizing working class voters around an aggressive progressive agenda.
A town hall in Mankato kicks off the trip, followed by a rally in Minneapolis with Omar. Sanders and Omar will mobilize supporters around the fight for economic justice, tackling the climate crisis, lowering prescription drug costs, and expanding Social Security benefits.
This will be Sanders’ sixth trip of the summer so far, following recent visits to Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Maine.
