Bernie Sanders Nukes Kamala Harris Over Lackluster Campaign: ‘Allowed Trump to Win’
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gave a short and sweet beatdown to former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign during a visit to Tim Dillon’s podcast.
Sanders joined comedian Dillon’s The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday to promote his new book Fighting Oligarchy. Dillon at one point focused his attention on the 2024 presidential election and why there was not a primary after former President Joe Biden dropped his campaign.
“Why is there such a cover-up with Biden’s mental decline? Why is there no primary, a quick one even, after he is judged unfit to run? Why is there no transparency there? That’s a huge problem, and I think it delivered — I mean, I know people blame five podcasters, but I think that process helped deliver the country,” Dillon said.
Sanders praised Harris as “intelligent” and “focused,” but bluntly stated her campaign was not focused on any issues that working class Americans are facing. The campaign, he argued, is another result of “money in politics.”
“Again, we, let me just say this. You know, I ran against Kamala back in 2020 and I know her, not close, but I know her well and she’s an incredibly intelligent, focused person. And I worked as hard as I could. I ran all over the country to try to get her elected,” the senator said.
Harris’s campaign, he added, was not centered on working class people or tackling issues like housing, inflation, and healthcare costs.
Sanders explained:
I think the reason that she lost that election gets back to the point we discussed at the beginning of this podcast and that is money in politics. Kamala did not run a campaign focused on the needs of the working class, didn’t run a campaign focused on healthcare, on economics, and raising the minimum wage, on paid family and medical leave, on housing, on all of the issues that working people are struggling with right now. And I think her not focused on those issues allowed Trump to win, in my view.
