Bernie Sanders taking 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour back on the road [View all]

(snip)

“If there was ever a time in American history when we need to come together, now is that time,” Sanders said in a video posted online Thursday, adding that his goal is to “defeat oligarchy, authoritarianism and horrific attacks against low-income and working-class Americans throughout our country.”

Sanders teased that a “new series of rallies” would be announced soon in “rural conservative areas — exactly the areas that we have got to turn around further.”

His campaign website already features RSVP links for upcoming stops in McAllen, Texas, on June 20; Shreveport, La., and Tulsa, Okla., on June 21; and Amarillo, Texas, and Fort Worth, Texas, on June 22.

According to the event notices, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) is scheduled to take part in each of Sanders’s upcoming Texas rallies, and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), who unsuccessfully ran for Texas governor in 2022, is slated to join Sanders for the June 22 events.
