From Fox News: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., took over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s post-election news conference Wednesday, knocking the Democratic Party for their lack of support in political races in New York and Maine.
“Well, the party leadership did not support [mayoral candidate Zohran] Mamdani in New York,” Sanders said in front of the Senate podium. “Party leadership is not supporting [Senate hopeful Graham] Platner in Maine. And I think he’s going to win… I think there is a growing understanding that leadership, and defending the status quo and the inequalities that exist in America, is not where the American people are.”
Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, won the mayoral race in New York City and Democrat Mikie Sherrill secured the New Jersey governorship.
Sanders wildly claimed that “People all over this country are rejecting ‘Trumpism.'”
He claimed that Trump is people are being kicked off healthcare, 50,000 have died “all to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to Elon Musk, billionaires and the one percent.”
He called for Democrats to “stand up and continue to fight.”
