Following the recent election losses, Senator Bernie Sanders has criticized the Democratic Party for being out of touch with the working class. He argues that the party has failed to adequately address economic issues faced by ordinary Americans, claiming it has prioritized higher-income constituents instead. Despite President Biden's administration making strides for workers, Sanders maintains Democrats need to confront corporate interests more directly. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi rebutted Sanders' claims, asserting the party's commitment to working-class issues, leading to a public debate over the party's future direction and identity.
