Sanders Cancels Rally In Mississippi

“Sen. Bernie Sanders has canceled a planned rally in Jackson, Mississippi, and will instead travel to Michigan on Friday, a striking indication that his presidential campaign is shifting its focus to the Midwest and largely ceding another Southern state to Joe Biden,” the New York Times reports.

“The change in plans suggests that Mr. Sanders will not challenge Mr. Biden for the support of black voters in the South — a vital base in the Democratic Party — and is instead going all-in on the Midwest as he tries to compete for the overlapping slice of the electorate made up of working-class voters.”
