Election 2024 live: Trump completes swing state sweep with Arizona; Republicans inch closer to House majority – UK Times

Bernie Sanders has doubled down on his scathing remarks about the Democratic party having “abandoned” working-class voters, despite criticism from longtime friend and ally Nancy Pelosi.

The veteran Vermont senator reiterated that the US working class is “angry” but rejected the idea that the issue this election cycle had been with party “messaging.”

“Bottom line, if you’re an average working person out there, do you really think that the Democratic party is going to the mat… and fighting for you? I think the overwhelming answer is no. And that is what it’s got to change,” he said on Sunday.

Implementing loyalists to executive branch positions, forcing local and state law enforcement agencies to comply with mass deportation and taking a confrontational approach to relations with China are all policies promoted by the America First Policy Institute, a right-wing think tank with influence over Donald Trump.

Ariana Baio breaks it down:

Several elected Democrats sounded off on their party’s failure to present a coherent economic message to voters on Sunday as the post-mortem begins for the left in the wake of Kamala Harris’s stunning defeat.

Though their warning is already meeting some resistance, Democrats including Chris Murphy, Ro Khanna and Bernie Sanders offered stern critiques of their party’s accelerated losses with working-class voters of all races, especially men, as well as other constituencies once considered core parts of the Obama coalition, like Latino voters.

John Bowden takes a closer look:

MAGA Rep Jim Jordan stumbled over his words as he was confronted live on-air with a claim that Donald Trump and his supporters only cry election fraud when they lose.

The Ohio congressman appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday where he was asked multiple times by host Dana Bash whether he thought that 2024 had been a “free and fair election.”

Nikki Haley is playing it nice after being publicly snubbed by Donald Trump in a post which stated that she and former secretary of state Mike Pompeo will both be excluded from his second administration.

Haley was Trump’s last remaining rival in the Republican primary election earlier this year.

A fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is all but inevitable, according to a political commentator, who warned that the attention-seeking personalities of two of the world’s most powerful men means they will struggle to “co-exist.”

Speaking on CNN’s The Chris Wallace Show on Saturday, Kara Swisher predicted that the president-elect, despite waxing lyrical about Musk throughout his 2024 campaign, will ultimately not be willing to share the spotlight with the entrepreneur.

San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa has been fined by the NFL for wearing a hat with a pro-Donald Trump message during a postgame television interview, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Bosa was fined $11,255 for violating the NFL uniform and equipment rules for wearing a hat that contained a personal message, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the fine wasn’t announced by the NFL.
