Bernie Sanders advises Democrats to ‘have the guts to take on … – Colorado Springs Gazette
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had choice words of advice for Democratic candidates in upcoming elections, including the president himself.
The failed presidential candidate acknowledged during an interview on CBS News's Face the Nation on Sunday that his previous political party needs "to win back a working class" voter demographic. Sanders explained that 60% of the American population is living paycheck to paycheck, with 18 million households putting at least 50% of their income toward a mortgage or rent.
TRUMP HAS 46-POINT LEAD OVER DESANTIS AS MOST GOP VOTERS SEE INDICTMENTS AS 'POLITICALLY MOTIVATED': POLL
"What the Democratic Party has got to do is have the guts to take on corporate greed, which is unprecedented all over the economy," Sanders said. "People who own the large corporations are doing record-breaking profits. We have to create an economy that works for all, not just a few."
According to Sanders, President Joe Biden "has made some progress," but he insisted there was a lot more to do in order to win over more voters and secure a second term. Sanders detailed to anchor Bob Costa what angle the Democratic Party should take, in his opinion.
"Well, I think the issue is: Are Democrats doing enough to win back a working class, which is leaving the Democratic Party?" Sanders said. "So I think, Bob, what this campaign is going should be about is a contrast between the ideas that work for the working families of this country and what Republicans stand for, which is more tax breaks for billionaires and paying allegiance to the needs of corporate America, not ordinary Americans."

Sanders suggested that the Democratic Party campaign on expanding Social Security and Medicare, with the latter including dental and vision coverage.
Despite his recent visit to New Hampshire, which suggested to some that the senator would attempt yet another presidential bid, Sanders expressed his certainty that Biden would be the Democratic nominee.
