Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) is planning a blitz of campaign events to &#8220;rally young voters and progressives&#8221; to support Democrats before midterm elections, which are widely expected to be a Republican wave, the <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/19\/us\/politics\/bernie-sanders-midterms-stops.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders, who is not a Democrat but has run twice for the party&#8217;s presidential nomination, will begin the campaign blitz next week in Oregon, a traditionally deep-blue state that this year is leaning Republican. He will then attend events in multiple swing states, including Nevada, where Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/senate\/nv\/nevada_senate_laxalt_vs_cortez_masto-7392.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leading<\/a> Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto, and Pennsylvania, where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox29.com\/election\/insideradvantage-fox-29-poll-fetterman-oz-neck-and-neck-as-shapiros-lead-narrows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most recent poll<\/a> has Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz tied in the Senate race.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders, a self-described socialist, supports massive tax increases, universal health care, and the Green New Deal. Those far-left positions have some Democrats worrying that Sanders&#8217;s &#8220;campaigning in swing states could backfire,&#8221; the <em>Times<\/em> noted.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin Senate candidate Mandela Barnes, who is <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/wisconsin-voters-press-barnes-about-singular-focus-on-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trailing<\/a> in the polls, is one Democrat who appears hesitant about Sanders&#8217;s presence. While Sanders &#8220;allowed the Barnes campaign to use his name&#8221; in fundraising emails, Barnes has not said whether he will appear with Sanders at three events in Wisconsin. A Barnes spokeswoman declined the <em>Times<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders is concerned about low turnout and low energy among Democrats, who are &#8220;doing rather poorly&#8221; at appealing to working-class voters, he told the <em>Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Poll after poll, the American people look more favorably upon the Republicans in terms of economic issues than they do Democrats,&#8221; Sanders noted.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time the socialist senator has criticized the Democratic Party for economic issues. &#8220;The middle class in this country is falling further and further behind&#8221; under President Joe Biden, Sanders <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/bernie-sanders-trashes-the-biden-economy\/\">told<\/a> talk show host Seth Meyers in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socialist Sen.
