Sanders has a message for Trump

He also said that, ‘throughout the United States there are millions and millions of decent and good people, who are frightened by the world in which they live’.

Newly elected Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, of NY, picked Warren and Sanders to serve on a diverse 10-member team, which he said will aim to unite the caucus and speak to those across America.

On that, and a host of other issues of concern to financially strapped Americans, such as the cost of prescription drugs, Sanders said “we’ll find out soon enough” if Trump’s promises were honest.

Sanders went on to say that he believes the Democratic Party is in need of major reform.

The promotion of Sanders to a role in Senate leadership is presumably an acknowledgment that the Democratic Party has a serious problem with white working class voters, given the results of the presidential election.

Sanders made it clear that he and the majority of the people who voted for Hillary Clinton would monitor Trump during his presidency. This year Sanders became the first Jewish candidate to win a U.S. presidential primary and Schumer became the first Jewish politician to lead either party’s Senate caucus.

Mr Sanders will be the first independent candidate to hold a party leadership position since the modern leadership structure began in the early 20th Century, according to the Senate Historical Office.

Since Donald Trump made waves over the weekend by appointing a known racist, anti-Semite, and white nationalist to his team, many have spoken out against the appointment.

Sen. Sanders called on the president-elect to rescind the appointment of Steve Bannon, the former executive chairman of the alt-right website Breitbart News, as chief White House strategist and senior counselor.

Reeling after last Tuesday’s defeat, the Democratic Party gave new leading roles to its liberal wing on Wednesday, elevating Sen.

On Thursday night, Mr Trump took credit for Ford’s decision not to move production of the Lincoln MKC 4×4 from Louisville, Kentucky, to Cuautitlan, Mexico.

In a statement issued the morning after Trump’s election, Sanders said that he’d be more than happy to work with Trump.

“He said a whole lot of things”. Sanders said the two might also be able to find common ground on an increase in infrastructure projects that could create more jobs.

Four Democratic senators will be up for re-election in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and MI in the 2018 midterm elections, where there are a number of white working class voters, and that Clinton lost this year. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, has joined the Senate Democratic leadership.

“It was truly an honor to meet someone who has sparked so much interest in politics and activism among our community and our generation”, Mr. Falcigno said.

Perhaps challenging that perception, the NY politician highlighted how he visited “12 battleground states” in the final week of the campaign in an effort to help Clinton become the next USA president.
