ATLANTA (AP) — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is trying to court more black voters as he tries to catch up to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary campaign.
But he’s not changing his main argument about an economic and political structure he assails as tilted to the wealthiest Americans.
Instead, he’s reframing it, blasting the current system as particularly unfair to nonwhites and offering his policy proposals as the answer.
He’s airing radio ads in South Carolina aimed mostly at black voters, and he’s campaigned recently in black churches. In Atlanta on Monday, he met with Martin Luther King’s daughter Bernice.
Sanders emphasized, however, that King did not just fight for racial equality but also economic opportunity for all Americans. Sanders says that message has universal appeal.
