Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York continued their 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour on Wednesday with a final stop in Missoula, Montana—an event that will cap a five-day sprint across western states that have drawn record crowds and invigorated those sickened by President Donald Trump's authoritarian assault on democracy, human rights, civil liberties, and the nation's working people.

Wednesday's event is set to kick off at 3:00 pm eastern (1:00 pm local time) on the campus of the University of Montana in Missoula.

Jacob Owens, a reporter with the local NBC News affiliate, said hundreds of people were already lined up for the event as of mid-morning, with some arriving as early as 5:00 am to make sure they were able to get into the event. As of this writing, over 6,000 people were already in attendance.
