Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez Electrify Democrats 

“The biggest political rallies anywhere in America right now are being headlined by an 83-year-old senator in the twilight of his career and his 35-year-old protégée,” the New York Times reports.

“Those monster crowds — more than 200,000 people in all, according to organizers — have turned out to cheer on a fiery anti-Trump, anti-billionaire message from Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York during their ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour of Western states…”

“As Democrats search for a spark after being routed in November, the two progressives are providing the kindling, offering the party’s beaten-down base the fighting spirit it has been missing ever since President Trump returned to office.”

Playbook: “The question for Sanders and AOC is what comes next — aside from the massive fundraising the tour has helped trigger.”
