A progressive member of "the Squad" is reportedly planning to hold anti-Trump rallies in red districts in an effort to mobilize voters against the president.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will organize events in red districts across Pennsylvania and New York to go "on the offense" against President Donald Trump's second term, The Associated Press reported.
The New York rallies come after Trump received 43% of the state's vote in the 2024 election, a 6-percentage-point increase after capturing 37% of the Empire State vote in 2020.
"You look around — who else is doing it? No one," Ocasio-Cortez said of efforts to protest the Trump agenda, according to AP. "My hope is that the dam will break in terms of Democrats going on the offense ... We need to take the argument directly to the people."
The solo rallies come in addition to the Democrat's plans to join Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on what is being called the "Stop Oligarchy Tour," protesting the president's agenda.
