Pelosi and Sanders Clash Over Harris Campaign

Following the recent election loss of Vice President Kamala Harris to Donald Trump, a heated exchange has erupted between Senator Bernie Sanders and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sanders criticized the Democratic Party for 'abandoning' the working class, citing this abandonment as a key factor in Harris's defeat. In response, Pelosi expressed her respect for Sanders but firmly rejected his claim, asserting that the party continues to advocate for working-class families. She noted that Democratic candidates performed well in the House and attributed cultural issues to electoral challenges rather than the party's stance on economic matters. The back-and-forth highlights a growing divide within the party regarding its direction and priorities as it seeks to regroup after the election.
