Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election due to the influence of "very wealthy people," Bernie Sanders told CNN's Dana Bash this weekend. "All right, let's be clear in my view," Sanders added, "The current political system in the United States of America is broken and corrupt.

During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash played a clip of Sanders telling an audience in West Virginia: “One of the reasons, in my view, that Kamala Harris lost the election is, she had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country.”
