Bernie Sanders angers the Democratic Party and describes the election campaign after Trump's victory as “disastrous”.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has sharply criticized the Democratic Party following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election.

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

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party that has failed the working class would find that the working class has failed them. First it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and black workers too,” 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 clearly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and won important swing states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Sanders called Harris' campaign “disastrous.”

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” he asked.

“Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing?” he added. “Do you have any ideas about how we can take on the increasingly powerful oligarchy that has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

While Republicans won the Senate majority in the 2024 elections, the 83-year-old Sanders, who has served in the House since 2007, just won another six-year term.

“Incredibly, the real, inflation-adjusted weekly wages of the average American worker are actually lower today than they were 50 years ago,” he said in the statement. “Despite the explosion of technology and labor productivity, many young people today will have worse living standards than their parents.”

“Despite spending much more per capita than other countries, today we are still the only wealthy nation that does not guarantee health care for all as a human right, and we pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. We alone.” “Most major countries can't even guarantee paid family and medical leave,” he claimed.

“Today, despite strong opposition from the majority of Americans, we continue to spend billions to finance the extremist Netanyahu government’s all-out war against the Palestinian people, which has led to the terrible humanitarian catastrophe of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children,” said the senator said in the statement.

Sanders noted in a tweet this week that he was “proud” to vote for Harris.
