An Exclusive Interview With Senator Bernie Sanders

Despite bipartisan claims that Democrats are "stranded in the wilderness" after President Trump's sweeping 2024 victory, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have been vocal about their disagreement. Though Sen. Sanders blamed the Democrats' poor performance on the party's abandonment of the working class and defending the status quo, he and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez are assuring Americans they are not lost — a message they're touting on the 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour. Today, Sen. Sanders sits down with Bret to discuss why the tour is drawing large crowds, why he opposes cuts to healthcare and education, and his concerns with Trump’s tariff policy. He also explains why he doesn’t believe the Democrats' challenges stem from President Biden’s delayed decision to exit the 2024 race. Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.
