Sanders Defends Biden And Kamala
Washington, D.C. — Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) refused to say whether former President Joe Biden should have stepped down sooner from the 2024 presidential race, deflecting blame and focusing instead on familiar themes of income inequality and corporate power.
In a Fox News interview on Special Report with Bret Baier, Sanders was asked point-blank whether Biden’s late exit hurt Democrats at the ballot box. Rather than addressing the question, Sanders dismissed the premise entirely.
“I’m not going back a year,” Sanders said. “It’s nothing to do with Biden right now or Kamala Harris.”
Baier pushed back, suggesting Biden’s timing played a key role in the party’s failure. But Sanders stayed on message, blaming what he called a system rigged by “billionaires and big corporations.”
“You have massive income and wealth inequality,” Sanders claimed. “Billionaires control the political system.”
This response highlights a growing divide within the Democratic Party—between establishment leadership and its far-left wing—at a time when everyday Americans are more concerned with inflation, border security, energy prices, and national stability.
Biden recently told the BBC that stepping aside earlier “wouldn’t have changed” the election outcome. He defended the last-minute elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris, who inherited a well-funded campaign operation built on Biden-Harris resources.
Despite the loss, Sanders has been touring the country alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) with a campaign they’ve branded the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. The pair has used rallies to criticize President Donald Trump’s America First policies—policies that, ironically, have helped rebuild the U.S. economy, secure the border, and restore American manufacturing.
Older Americans Want Results—Not Rhetoric
While Sanders continues to speak in broad slogans about “the working class,” his critics argue he offers few real-world solutions. For millions of retirees and working families, what matters most is leadership that delivers—lower taxes, secure borders, and economic freedom.
President Trump’s administration has focused on restoring traditional values, strengthening Social Security, and promoting American jobs. Many believe the contrast with Sanders’s socialist message couldn’t be more clear.
The Bottom Line
As the 2024 election post-mortem continues, one thing is certain: Americans—especially those over 50—are tired of blame games and buzzwords. They want action, not excuses. Sanders’s refusal to confront the failures of his own party only reinforces why voters turned toward common-sense leadership rooted in faith, freedom, and family.
