Bernie Sanders Heading to Michigan and Wisconsin for Fighting Oligarchy Tour

KENOSHA, WI — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) next weekend will embark on the second swing of his national “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” tour, which is focused on the takeover of the national government by billionaires and large corporations, and the country’s move toward authoritarianism. The tour is targeting districts narrowly won by Republicans in 2024 to pressure them to vote against any cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition, education and other basic needs to pay for more tax breaks for the richest people in this country.

For the first leg of the tour, Sen. Sanders hosted thousands of working class people and overflow crowds in Omaha and Iowa City. The senator outlined how Americans can fight back against President Trump and Elon Musk, who are quickly moving the country toward authoritarianism, oligarchy, and kleptocracy.

Next, he will head to Michigan and Wisconsin, where Elon Musk has spent $1 million on the state’s Supreme Court contest.

Sanders said: “Today, the oligarchs and the billionaire class are getting richer and richer and have more and more power. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and most of our people are struggling to pay for health care, childcare, and housing. This country belongs to all of us, not just the few. We must fight back.”
