‘Straight-up BS’: Democratic chair attacks Bernie Sanders’ election critique

Sanders’ analysis that Democrats lost because they failed working-class voters scorned by party chair Jaime Harrison

US elections 2024 – live updates

Amid Democratic mourning over the loss of the presidential election to Donald Trump, the party chair risked deepening already growing divisions by rebuking the leftwing Vermont senator Bernie Sanders for saying Democrats have “abandoned working class people”.

“This is straight up BS,” Jaime Harrison, the Democratic National Committee chair, said on Thursday. “[Joe] Biden was the most pro-worker president of my lifetime – saved union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line.”
