Democratic chair rebuts Bernie Sanders' claims on working-class voter loss

Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison criticized Bernie Sanders for claiming the party has abandoned working-class voters. Harrison defended President Biden's pro-worker policies and Vice President Harris's proposals, calling Sanders' comments "straight up BS." Sanders, re-elected to the Senate, argued that the Democratic Party's failure to address working-class issues has led to its losses. He highlighted rising inequality and the struggles of many Americans, questioning whether party leaders will learn from their defeat. The Democratic Party faces internal divisions as it reflects on its recent election losses. Some analysts suggest the party should have prioritized economic issues, which were significant in exit polls during the election.
