Tempe, Arizona – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Senator Bernie Sanders Vermont – the left-wing champion – repeatedly targeted President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Ally Elon Musk, who started a three-day swing from three elections.
But Sanders, especially Ocasio-Cortezand some fires were also made against the Democratic Party, the most famous of which was the so-called “squad”, urging her own party to engage in a “courage fight” against Republicans.
Trump has been crying since returning to the White House two months ago, his political muscles bent the presidential power as he subverted long-standing administration policies and cut off the federal workforce through a series of execution orders and actions.
Sanders and Cortez took the stage at their first stop in Las Vegas, Nevada, while Trump signed an executive order to begin demolishing the Department of Education’s long-term conservative goal at a White House ceremony.
Bernie Sanders says it’s the biggest problem for the Democrats

Ocasio-Cortez Accuse Trump and his Republican allies “lie and lie to work and middle-class Americans so that they can steal our health care, social security and veterans’ benefits to pay tax breaks for billionaires and bail out their crypto friends.”
Sanders accused “Trump is trying to take power out of Congress every day. He is trying to take power out of the judiciary.”
“We have a message to Mr. Trump that we will not allow you to transfer this country to the oligarchy. We do not allow you and your friends Mr. Musk and other billionaires to wreak havoc on this country,” Sanders stressed.
But Congressional Democrats in power in the White House and in the House and Senate cannot stop most Republicans from creating tensions within the party, as more calls for leaders to propose stronger strategies to resist Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez told Republicans Crowds in Arizona. “We need a Democrat who is fighting for us. It means that each of us chooses and votes for Democrats and elected officials who know how to represent the working class…I hope you can look at every level of positions around and support fighting Democrats because of those who can actually win Republicans.”

The Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez dock attracted a lot of people. Fire Marshal of Tempe, Arizona said there were 11,300 people crowding the Mutter Arena on the Arizona State University campus, and there were thousands of overflow areas outside the arena.
The tour, dubbed “the battle oligarch” by Sanders, continued Friday in Denver and Greeley, Colorado, and held a rally Saturday in Tucson, Arizona.
It’s here Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, The top Democrats in the chamber faced growing parties last week for their support for the federal fundraising bill, which avoided the government’s closure.

Neither Ocasio-Cortez nor Sanders mentioned Schumer in his speeches in Las Vegas or Tempe.
Sanders, an independent who has long been with Democrats, is part of the Senate’s Schumer leadership team, declined in an interview with Fox News Digital before the Tempe Rally to answer his call for Schumer to resign from his leadership position.
“It’s something inside the ring road,” Sanders said.

But that’s the idea of some people attending the rally.
At the Las Vegas rally, there was an ode to the “main Chuck” for Ocasio-Cortez.
Cindy Garman and Pat Robinson of Prescott, Arizona told Fox News in Tempe that they were “very disappointed” with Schumer’s move.
Amanda Ratloff of Gilbert, Arizona, said Schumer is not the leader we need now. We need someone who really fights back and fights for the American people, not just succumb to Elon Musk and Donald Trump. ”
