U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar is a hosting a get-out-the-vote campaign event in Minneapolis tomorrow, ahead of the primary on Aug. 13, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will be joining her for the event.
Sanders began his trip to Minnesota this weekend with a town hall in Mankato, focusing on working class voters.
He spoke with MPR News host Tom Crann before his scheduled events, sharing that he spoke with Gov. Tim Walz a few days earlier and said he is “very impressed” and that Walz “understands the needs of working families.”
Sanders added that he hopes Vice President Kamala Harris “selects a running mate who will speak up and take on powerful corporate interest — and I think Tim Walz is somebody who could do that.”
