At a rally in Las Vegas, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for a stronger Democratic Party, urging support for leaders who stand with the working class. She criticized both Republicans and Democrats, emphasizing the need for a more aggressive approach against former President Donald Trump’s influence.

Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump of prioritizing the wealthy, stating he is “selling this country for parts” in exchange for campaign support from billionaires. Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking alongside her, condemned economic inequality, criticizing the ultra-rich for hoarding wealth while essential services like Social Security and Medicaid remain under threat.

Their rally comes amid frustration within the Democratic Party, particularly over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s handling of a Trump-backed spending bill. Critics argue that Democrats should take a stronger stance rather than compromise.

Attendees, including a mother concerned about Medicaid cuts affecting her son’s healthcare, expressed disappointment in the party’s response to Republican policies. Sanders’ team is advocating for a grassroots approach to mobilize voters and counter Trump’s agenda. The duo’s tour continues in Arizona and Colorado, aiming to rally support ahead of the upcoming elections.
