Bernie Sanders set to deploy for Democrats

Sanders will cam­paign Sept. 16 in Pennsylvania with Katie Mc­Ginty, the Demo­crat chal­len­ging GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, telling the Pitt­s­burgh Post-Gaz­ette that she will be an “ex­tremely wel­come pro­gress­ive voice.”

But there’s likely more to come as Demo­crats hope to win the White House, re­gain con­trol of the Sen­ate, and, while it’s a long shot, see a chance to re­gain the House if Clin­ton clob­bers Don­ald Trump by enough to cre­ate a huge wave for Demo­crats down bal­lot.

Demo­crat­ic sources say that while lo­gist­ics are be­ing worked out, it’s ex­pec­ted that Sanders will bring the fiery mes­sage that an­im­ated his primary cam­paign onto the stump in mul­tiple races.

“Bernie has offered to help in any way pos­sible,” said Sen. Jon Test­er, the chair­man of the Demo­crat­ic Sen­at­ori­al Cam­paign Com­mit­tee.
