Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stumped for Senator Bernie Sanders in Michigan this week; telling confused supporters they must “open a posture of acceptance” in order to win the state’s pivotal primary.
“This moment, we are here because we have been separated from each other… We are not divided, we are disconnected. That is -at its core- our problem today. That means that the antithesis of that is to connect, to fight for someone you don’t know, to love our neighbor, to bring people into the cause. To listen, to adapt, to open a posture of acceptance, that is what we must do in order to win on Tuesday,” said Ocasio-Cortez.

Bernie Sanders made his final pitch to voters in Michigan ahead of Tuesday’s pivotal primary; calling for “worker ownership” of corporations while vowing to fight “obscene inequality.”
“The richest 1% of America’s families took in 48% of all income growth over the last 25 years. We must reverse this obscene inequality. We need: Fair trade, not corporate trade. $15 minimum wage. Strong unions and worker ownership. Taxes—not handouts—for huge corporations,” Sanders posted on social media.

Biden opened-up an impressive 24-point lead over Bernie Sanders just one day before the Michigan primary; a state that could help resurrect the far-left Senator’s fading presidential campaign or seal his fate.
“If Biden’s 51%-27% lead in the poll, done by EPIC-MRA for the Free Press and its media partners, holds, it would guarantee him a signature victory in Michigan — a battleground state that helped President Donald Trump win the White House four years ago. It could also starve Sanders’ formerly front-running campaign of delegates needed for the nomination and call into question how long his effort can remain viable,” reports the Detroit Free Press.
“But the poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points, shows he may have a lot of ground to make up in a hurry. It shows a candidate who is not doing as well with younger voters or voters outside metro Detroit as he did in 2016, when his campaign was riding a sudden wave of energy and enthusiasm. It also shows a lot of late-breaking support for Biden as other candidates — former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota — got out of the race and endorsed him,” adds the website.
The poll comes just days after Michigan’s Governor publicly backed Joe Biden for President.
