Sen. Bernie Sanders is taking part in a CNN town hall on Wednesday night.
The Vermont senator, who is fresh off his Fighting Oligarchy Tour with Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, will face questions from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
The event will take place in Washington, D.C., and will be moderated by CNN host Anderson Cooper.
What to know
The CNN town hall will air on the network on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
Sanders, who caucuses with Senate Democrats and twice sought the party’s presidential nomination, announced in February that he’d be launching a national tour to “take on the oligarchy.”
The tour has attracted vast crowds, with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez speaking to a crowd of some 15,000 in Phoenix, Arizona, last month.
Sanders, who has repeatedly sounded the alarm about President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to make sweeping cuts to the government, says he is building a movement to fight for “economic, racial, social and environmental justice for all.”

Sanders criticizes ‘Trump’s trade chaos’ ahead of town hall
Sen. Bernie Sanders has hit out at Donald Trump’s “trade chaos” after the president announced he was pausing his reciprocal tariffs amid plummeting global markets.
“Trump’s trade chaos is undermining our economy and hurting American families,” Sanders warned.
“If Republicans have their way on tariffs and their huge tax bill, most Americans will see their taxes go up, while those on top get a big break. We need a trade policy that puts working people first.”
