New York Democrat Rep: The ‘Far Left’ Helped Trump Win Reelection

This week, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was previously a Democrat and is now an independent, slammed the Democratic Party for former President Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 election.

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.

"First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well," Sanders added in his statement. "While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right."

Sanders is not the only lawmaker on the opposite side of the aisle criticizing the Democratic Party for Trump’s win. One New York Democrat has chimed in. 

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D) said this week that the “far left” handed Trump the 2024 election. 

“Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like’“Defund the Police’ or ‘From the River to the Sea’ or ‘Latinx,’” Torres wrote on X.

“There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling,” he concluded.

In a follow-up post, Torres said that Democrats need to “expunge” the phrase, “we have a messaging problem.”

“When over 70 percent of Americans think we are on the wrong track or headed in the wrong direction, that is not a messaging problem.  That is reality problem. Inflation and immigration are not ‘messaging problems.’  These are realities that produced discontent widespread enough to hand Donald Trump the presidency,” he wrote.  

He later added that “vilifying voters of color as white supremacists will not attract them back to the Democratic Party.  It will drive them further into Trump’s camp.”
