Democrats clash over blame for Harris's presidential loss to Trump

Allies of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are criticizing progressives for blaming the Democratic Party's loss on abandonment of working-class voters. Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump, prompting a scramble among Democrats to understand the defeat. Progressives, including Senator Bernie Sanders, have pointed to Democratic leadership's failure to connect with working-class voters. In response, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison defended Biden's pro-worker policies and criticized Sanders's comments as misleading. Harris's campaign raised over $1 billion and registered many voters, but it fell short in key states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. As the election results continue to unfold, Republicans have gained control of the Senate, while House races remain competitive.
