Sen. Bernie Sanders is taking part in a CNN town hall on Wednesday night.
The Vermont senator, who is fresh off his Fighting Oligarchy Tour with Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, will face questions from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
The event will take place in Washington, D.C., and will be moderated by CNN host Anderson Cooper.
What to know
- The CNN town hall will air on the network on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
- Sanders, who caucuses with Senate Democrats and twice sought the party's presidential nomination, announced in February that he'd be launching a national tour to "take on the oligarchy."
- The tour has attracted vast crowds, with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez speaking to a crowd of some 15,000 in Phoenix, Arizona, last month.
- Sanders, who has repeatedly sounded the alarm about President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's efforts to make sweeping cuts to the government, says he is building a movement to fight for "economic, racial, social and environmental justice for all."
