Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday expressed concerns that younger voters won’t show up at the polls during the November midterms.

During an appearance on CNN, the self-described democratic socialist lawmaker implored Democrats to focus on younger people by addressing economic issues. Democrats currently have slim majorities in the House and Senate, while historically, the party of the president tends to lose seats during midterms.
