Democrats targeting toss-up districts in town hall tour [View all]

(NewsNation) — As Democrats try to work their way out of the political wilderness and find a message that resonates with voters, some marquee names in the Democratic Party are holding town halls with Americans around the country.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — the former candidate for vice president — held three town halls in the past week in Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Starting Thursday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will join Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on his “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” tour in Nevada, Arizona and Colorado.

The press release from the Sanders team says the tour is targeting districts narrowly won by Republicans in 2024, “serving as a pressure campaign to force vulnerable congresspeople to vote against any cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition, education and other basic needs to pay for more tax breaks for the richest people in this country.”
