Bernie Sanders excoriates Democratic Party, calls campaign 'disastrous' after Trump victory

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., excoriated the Democratic Party in the wake of Donald Trump's 2024 presidential election victory.

The left-wing lawmaker, who is listed as a member of the Senate Democratic caucus, accused the party of abandoning the working class.

"It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well," Sanders said in the statement.

"While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right," he continued.

Trump decisively defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, winning key swing states including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.
