Bernie Sanders Plans Midterm Blitz

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) “is planning an eight-state blitz with at least 19 events over the final two weekends before the midterm elections, looking to rally young voters and progressives as Democrats confront daunting national headwinds,” the New York Times reports.

Said Sanders: “It is about energizing our base and increasing voter turnout up and down the ballot. I am a little bit concerned that the energy level for young people, working-class people, is not as high as it should be. And I want to see what I can do about that.”
