Bernie Sanders Draws Record Crowd in Los Angeles Rally Against Trump and Billionaire Influence

The Vermont senator's largest-ever rally caps a two-month tour aimed at mobilizing class solidarity and opposing concentrated wealth under the Trump administration.

Bernie Sanders addressed a crowd of 36,000 in Los Angeles, the largest rally of his political career, as part of his 'Combattre l’oligarchie' tour.
The rally highlighted resistance to Trump’s policies and the influence of billionaires like Elon Musk, whom Sanders accused of steering the U.S. toward authoritarianism.
Sanders emphasized the need for class solidarity over partisan divides, urging support for independent candidates outside traditional party structures.
Attendees expressed frustration with mainstream Democratic leadership, calling for more decisive action against Trump’s administration and socio-economic inequalities.
Sanders ruled out a 2028 presidential run, instead backing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive voices to lead the movement forward.
