Bernie Sanders criticizes Democrats for neglecting working-class issues after election loss

Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the Democratic Party for neglecting working-class issues following the 2024 presidential election. He stated that this neglect has led to the working class abandoning the party, expressing disappointment in the party's leadership. Sanders highlighted rising income inequality, noting that 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. He pointed out that real wages for average workers are lower now than 50 years ago and questioned whether the Democratic Party would learn from its recent electoral losses. His comments come after Donald Trump won the election against Kamala Harris, leading to a surge in U.S. stock markets. Sanders had previously criticized Trump's tax proposals and expressed disagreement with Harris on certain issues.
