Tezlyn Figaro, a former adviser to Bernie Sanders, has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' chances in the presidential race, stating that she never stood a chance against Donald Trump.
Figaro attributes Harris' struggles to a late campaign start and the influence of big-money consultants.
Despite Sanders' more diplomatic comments, Figaro was blunt in her assessment, calling Harris' campaign a 'disaster.' The remarks highlight ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party as they reflect on past elections and look toward future strategies.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Honestly, I think Figaro's right—Harris has never really connected with working-class voters the way candidates like Bernie have. The Democratic Party needs to stop relying on big-money donors and start listening to the grassroots if they want to win.
Doesn't matter who the candidate is if the system keeps rigging the game with big money and government overreach.
