Bernie Sanders has blamed Kamala Harris for her election loss to Donald Trump, saying she chose to cosy up to billionaires instead of addressing the issues faced by working-class Americans.
The 83-year-old independent senator and former Democratic presidential candidate said that while Joe Biden has faced plenty of criticism for the election loss, it was ultimately Harris’s fault.
“A lot of the people are saying it was Joe Biden's fault that Kamala Harris lost the election … not true.
It was the fault of Kamala Harris and her consultants,” he said in an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Today program.

Sanders said he “absolutely” believed Harris could have won, but she did not talk about the needs of working-class Americans.
