(Oklahoma City, OK) Democratic candidates for President have been spending more time in Oklahoma. Bernie Sanders rallied thousands of supporters at a local park Sunday as he pushes for a second victory in Oklahoma, a state he won during the 2016 presidential primary. In a 39-minute speech, the U.S. senator from Vermont ran through a slew of his policy proposals, including Medicare for all, raising the minimum wage, free college tuition at public colleges and universities and a climate change plan that helps workers in fossil fuels jobs transition.
Senator Elizabeth Warren returned to her old high school, Northwest Classen, where she spoke to a crowd of roughly 2,200 people. Warren recalled fond memories of her youth in Oklahoma, and met with tribal leaders for an hour on Sunday. Many tribes did not attend due to her scandal with a DNA test that they say overshadows more important native issues.
