Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison responded to Senator Bernie Sanders' criticism of the Democratic Party's treatment of working-class people. Sanders had stated that the party's abandonment of this demographic led to their loss of support. Harrison refuted Sanders' claims, highlighting President Biden's pro-worker policies, such as saving Union pensions and creating millions of well-paying jobs.
Harrison emphasized that Biden's initiatives, like child tax credits and support for senior healthcare costs, aimed to improve the quality of life for working people and reduce the racial wealth gap. He dismissed Sanders' remarks as inaccurate and not reflective of the positive impact of Biden's post-election plans.
In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, President Trump secured a decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris by winning key swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Sanders criticized Harris' campaign as 'disastrous,' further fueling the ongoing debate within the Democratic Party.
