White House and DNC push back on Sanders' claim of Democrats abandoning working class

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rejected Senator Bernie Sanders's claim that the Democratic Party has abandoned working-class Americans. She highlighted President Biden's pro-union stance and job creation efforts as evidence of support for the working class. In response to Sanders's comments following Vice President Kamala Harris's election loss, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison defended Biden. He called Sanders's statement "BS" and emphasized Biden's achievements in creating jobs and supporting unions. Despite Biden's pro-union reputation, rising inflation has frustrated many citizens, leading to concerns about living standards. Some progressive Democrats, including Sanders, view Biden as too centrist to bring about necessary changes.
