(Daily Caller) Democrats continue to blame and point fingers following Vice President Kamala Harris’s electoral loss to Republican President-elect Donald Trump early Wednesday.
While certification by the states continues through Dec. 12, 2024, Trump appears to have achieved an Electoral College landslide victory, leading 312 votes against Harris’s 226, as well as winning the popular vote. Harris campaign staff and Democratic donors and elected officials are now attempting to spin the fallout of Harris’s unsuccessful 107-day campaign.
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats, released a letter Wednesday slamming the party for abandoning working class Americans. Voters without college degrees backed Trump 56%-42% over the vice president, according to NBC News battleground exit polls.
“It shall come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which had abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders wrote. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well.”

Trump made major electoral gains with Hispanic men by a 55%-43% margin over Harris, the 2024 battleground exit polls show, a seismic shift from President Joe Biden’s 59%-36% lead over Trump in 2020. Trump also outperformed his 2020 election results among black men, and increased support from urban areas such as Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.
“While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right,” Sanders said in his statement.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded to Sanders in a New York Times podcast interview Thursday evening, saying she does not “respect” his take on Harris’s loss. Pelosi also noted “Bernie Sanders has not won” his previous bids for the presidency.
“Let me, with all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class families,” Pelosi said.
“For example, under President Biden, you see the rescue package, money in the pockets of people, shots in the arm, children in school safely, working people back to work. What did, what’s his name?” Pelosi continued, seemingly forgetting Trump’s name. “What did Trump do when he was president? One bill that gave a tax cut to the richest people in America.”
