US EditionIn photos: Bernie Sanders holds 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally in LA - All Photos
- Senator Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally on April 14, 2025, at the Ford Idaho Center arena near Boise, Idaho, which reached full capacity with 12,500 people admitted.
- The rally happened as part of a progressive tour entering Republican strongholds where Democrats seek to reverse losses ahead of next year's midterms amid broad dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump's administration.
- Sanders, age 83, and Ocasio-Cortez, age 35, drew crowds comparable to those in liberal and battleground states, with Ocasio-Cortez evoking her improbable 2018 primary win and stressing that defeating Republicans in Utah is possible.
- Sanders said Democrats must choose whether to include grassroots supporters or rely on billionaire funding, while attendees expressed feeling isolated in red states and hopeful at the event where the arena was officially closed to admit 12,500 people.
- Despite the energized turnout and progressive optimism, Idaho and neighboring states remain Republican strongholds, and local leaders like Governor Brad Little mocked progressive efforts, suggesting Democrats face entrenched opposition.
