Senator Bernie Sanders criticized the Democratic Party for losing support among working-class voters, including Latino and Black communities. He stated that the party's focus on the status quo has led to this abandonment. Recent exit polls showed a significant increase in support for Republicans among Black and Latino men compared to previous elections. Trump reportedly gained 24% of Black male votes and up to 42% of Latino votes. Sanders highlighted economic issues like stagnant wages, inflation, and high healthcare costs as key factors driving this shift. He expressed doubt that the Democratic Party would learn from these developments but called for discussions on grassroots democracy and economic justice.
