Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

AOC needs to run for the Senate and take Chuck Schumer’s seat. “To see some Senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk. I think it is a huge slap in the face, and I think that there's a wide sense of betrayal." She nailed it. We’re tired of it.
