“Bernie Sanders, who has been calling for progressives to run for office on his ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour, is putting more organizational muscle behind his appeal,” Politico reports.
“The Vermont senator is teaming up with the liberal group Run for Something and other outside organizations to provide support to potential candidates… The effort, if successful, could help push the party at least incrementally in Sanders’ direction.
And it is almost certain to draw the ire of some Democrats, as Sanders and some of his allies help both Democrats and independents run for office.”
