Bernie Sanders says one thing lost Kamala Harris the election

  • US Senator Bernie Sanders has attributed Kamala Harris's presidential election loss to what he sees as her campaign's focus on billionaires rather than addressing the needs of the working class.
  • Mr Sanders criticised Ms Harris's campaign for not prioritising issues such as raising the minimum wage, healthcare reform, and housing, and for associating with figures like Liz Cheney and Mark Cuban.
  • Mr Sanders believes Ms Harris could have won the election if she had focussed on the needs of working-class Americans.
  • Mr Sanders highlighted the growing income and wealth inequality in the U.S. as a core issue that the Democratic Party needs to address.
  • He said that President Donald Trump's victory was due to the Democratic Party's failure to respond to the economic struggles of average Americans, who feel Washington D.C. is not addressing their needs.
