NJ-11: Bernie Sanders stumps for Democrat Analilia Mejia in crowded House race
WAYNE — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders slammed Donald Trump as a “narcissistic, mentally unstable” president to a crowd of about 1,200 on the William Paterson University campus on Monday at a campaign event boosting congressional candidate Analilia Mejia.
During a 40-minute speech, Sanders said wealth inequality is plaguing the United States, criticized the role money plays in politics, and advocated for electing more progressives to positions of power.
“When we stand together, not only will we defeat Trumpism, but we will create the type of nation and government the American people deserve,” said Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats.
Mejia is one of 11 Democrats vying in a Feb. 5 special primary to win their party’s nomination in the race to fill the House vacancy left when Mikie Sherrill resigned to become governor (Sherrill will be sworn in Tuesday at noon).
