Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) is planning a blitz of campaign activities to “rally youthful citizens as well as progressives.” This is a new plan by the Democratic party to sustain Democrats before the midterm vote. It is actually extensively assumed that the 2022 midterm election will become a Republican “Red Wave.”
Although Sanders is actually not a Democrat, has operated for the party more times than not. He will begin the projected assault this next week in Oregon. Oregon is normally a deep-blue state but this year is actually leaning Republican due to the horrific policies of leftist politicians.
After Oregon, Sanders will then travel to various swing states, including Nevada, where Republican Us senate candidate Adam Laxalt is actually leading Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto, and also Pennsylvania, where recent polls have Democrat John Fetterman and also Republican politician Mehmet Oz in a tight race.
Sanders is a self-described socialist, who supports massive tax increases, universal health care, and the Green New Deal. Those far-left positions have some Democrats worried that Sanders’s “campaigning in swing states could backfire,” the Times noted
Wisconsin Senate candidate Mandela Barnes is one Democrat who appears hesitant about Sanders’s presence. While Sanders “allowed the Barnes campaign to use his name” in fundraising emails, Barnes has not said whether he will appear with Sanders at three events in Wisconsin.
According to the Times, Sanders is concerned about low turnout and low energy among Democrats. He fears that Democrats are “doing rather poorly” at appealing to working-class voters.
“Poll after poll, the American people look more favorably upon the Republicans in terms of economic issues than they do Democrats,” Sanders claimed.
However, this is not the first time the socialist senator has criticized the Democratic Party. “The middle class in this country is falling further and further behind” under President Joe Biden, Sanders told talk show host Seth Meyers in September.
