Last week, Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old democratic socialist who beat incumbent Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in New York's 14th Congressional District, campaigned for a pair of progressive primary candidates in Kansas: James Thompson and Brent Welder. Ocasio-Cortez will be in Michigan this weekend to support Abdul El-Sayed, who was endorsed by Sanders on Wednesday, as he seeks an upset of his own in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary. Earlier this month, Sanders stumped alongside Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, who is now vying for the Democratic nomination in the state attorney general race, on a trip that also took him to Wisconsin, where he appeared at events with incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Democratic congressional hopeful Randy Bryce. After that: Pennsylvania, for a rally with Braddock Mayor John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. To start, they mostly share -- to varying degrees -- Sanders' politics and support all or some combination of his policy priorities.
