The leftist senator of Vermont, Bernie Sanders, would have urged the president of the time, Kamala Harris, to concentrate on the “working class” instead of abortion as she took the mantle of the Democratic Party during the unprecedented electoral cycle in 2024, according to the highly anticipated book of Harris, “107 days”.

“I supported Joe because he was the strongest voice for the working class. Please focus on the working class, not only on abortion,” Sanders told Harris, according to his notes of their conversation after the president of the time, Joe Biden, abandoning the race on July 21, 2024.

Sanders was among a long list of best democrats, including former President Barack Obama and the former president of the Nancy Pelosi Chamber, who first resisted to endorse Harris immediately after the withdrawal of Biden, rather offering his advice to focus on the working class.

Harris finally lost the seven states of the battlefield against President Donald Trump in the ballot box on November 4, 2024, with democrats, media experts and others offering a handful of reasons explaining the loss, many pointing to the way the party has embraced leftist policies such as transgender problems in children and sports against work and the middle class.

“It should not be surprising that a Democratic Party who abandoned the working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and wants change,” Sanders published in X in November 2024, accompanied by a press release on the results of the elections. “And they are right.”

Other best experts, including James Carville, said that the party “betrays” the voters of the working class in favor of the construction of a “too cool group for the school” than the voters of Bled White, while the party leaders in 2025, returned to the drawing council to trace how to attract white male votes that launched their votes to Trump.

During the campaign cycle, Harris concentrated a handful of events and discourse on abortion, and was also criticized to make fun of pro-life demonstrators during an event in Wisconsin a few hours before jumping the Catholic charity of Al Smith on the same day.

The Vermont senator finally approved Harris on July 27, 2024 – just a few days after Biden abandoned – and said on X that “we have to defeat Trump, elected VP @KamalaharrisAnd create a government that works for everyone, not just 1%. “”

Harris continued in his book that post-mortem data on the electoral cycle found voters, especially young people, did not vote according to abortion, war in Israel or climate change, but for economic reasons, strengthening the initial advice of Sanders that she focuses her attention on the working class.

“The survey revealed that many of these young voters did not feel that they knew me. And unlike certain predictions, they did not vote mainly on reproductive rights, or Gaza, nor climate change,” she wrote in her book. “They voted on their perceived economic interests. In a post-electoral study conducted by TUFTS University, 40% put the economy and jobs as their first issue.”
