In April 2025, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attracted over 20,000 supporters during their "Fight Oligarchy" tour in Salt Lake City, Utah, a conservative state strongly won by Trump. Their visit emphasized the belief that people across America are ready to challenge the status quo. In his speech, Sanders warned of the risks posed by wealthy elites controlling the government. Ocasio-Cortez stressed that the nation faces a crucial moment, emphasizing the need to combat extremism and authoritarianism, reflecting a growing push for economic populism among Democrats disenchanted with Trump administration policies.
We're here in so-called 'conservative' Utah, and tomorrow we're gonna be in Idaho. Because we believe that in every state of this country, people are prepared to stand up and fight.
We are living in the most dangerous moments in the modern history of this country. We are living in a moment where a handful of billionaires control our government... We want a government that represents all of us.
