Bernie and AOC to Campaign for Kamala in Wisconsin

Following Sanders’ Town Hall in Oshkosh, the pair will hold a rally in the Badger State on Monday, highlighting the danger Trump poses to working class priorities

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Ny.) on Monday will campaign in Wisconsin on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Sen. Sanders will first hold a town hall in Oshkosh, where he will discuss the most pressing issues facing working class residents of Wisconsin, and outline how a Donald Trump presidency would decimate any hope of raising the federal minimum wage, securing victories for the labor union movement, or expanding Medicare and Social Security.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez will join the Senator on Monday evening in Madison, where the pair will rally to get out the vote with just one week until the presidential election.

The trip comes on the heels of recent swings from Sanders through Pennsylvania, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, and Texas, following visits to Ohio, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine. These will be his 29th and 30th events of the month for the Harris-Walz ticket.

Bernie Sanders to Address Corporate Greed, Big Money in Politics at Democratic National Convention

PREVIEW: Sanders to Address Corporate Greed, Big Money in Politics at Democratic National Convention

CHICAGO, Ill. – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) tonight at 9:20 p.m. ET will give a primetime address at the Democratic National Convention. Sanders will speak to the critical importance of delivering a progressive economic agenda for working class Americans, taking on rampant corporate greed, and electing Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States.

A preview of his remarks can be found below, and the full speech can be watched live tonight at demconvention.com/watch

"When the political will is there, government CAN effectively deliver for the people of our country.

We need to summon that will again — because too many of our fellow Americans are struggling every day to just get by — to put food on the table, pay the rent, and get the health care they need.

Bottom-line: We need an economy that works for all of us, not just the greed of the billionaire class.
....
These oligarchs tell us we shouldn’t tax the rich; we shouldn’t take on price gouging; we shouldn’t expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing, and vision; and we shouldn’t increase Social Security benefits for struggling seniors.

Well I’ve got some bad news for them.

That is precisely what we are going to do, and we’re going to win this struggle because this is precisely what the American people want from their government."
