Senator Bernie Sanders is throwing his full support behind Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan in the high-stakes Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, set for August 11, 2026. Sanders has rallied the progressive wing of the Democratic Party behind Flanagan as she takes on more centrist U.S. Representative Angie Craig. The race is drawing major attention as Flanagan campaigns on a progressive platform closely aligned with Sanders, including Medicare for All, a ban on medical prior authorizations, and raising the minimum wage to at least $17 an hour. Sanders also blasted billionaire-backed super PAC spending against Flanagan during their July 20 Minneapolis rally, declaring that she has “the guts to stand up for working people.”
