Sanders Urges Democrats to Fight GOP Redistricting, Defend Working Class

Senator Bernie Sanders is actively campaigning against what he calls the concentration of wealth and power among America's elite, including figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, as part of his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour. He criticizes President Donald Trump's efforts to influence electoral outcomes, particularly the Republican push for redistricting in Texas, which Sanders describes as an attempt to "rig the system" and unfairly gain additional House seats. Sanders urged Democratic governors in states like California and New York to redraw congressional maps in response and called on Democrats to fight back against these efforts rather than accept defeat. He condemned the Democratic Party for turning away from its working-class base and emphasized the need for the party to recommit to policies supporting the working class. Throughout his tour, Sanders seeks to mobilize political action and resistance to Trump's agenda, often appearing alongside other progressive figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Additionally, Sanders addressed broader political challenges, including concerns about authoritarianism and the importance of maintaining democracy.
