Bernie Sanders calls for a “pathetic” push for Texas constituency

WASHINGTON – In a new interview called the Texas Republican Constituency Push, Sen. Bernie Sanders made a “pathetic” push, urging Democrats to “fight back.”

Sanders’ comments on CNN’s Dana Bash come when Texas Democrats fled the lonely Star State State on August 3rd. President Donald Trump is calling for change.

“What Trump is trying to do is understand that Republicans are likely to lose control of their homes,” Sanders said.

“So what should Democrats do? To say, ‘Oh, hey, Trump is doing this terrible – we can’t do anything, let us win the election’, Democrats have to fight back when they shouldn’t. I think that’s pathetic, but I think that’s what they have to do.”

California Democrat Gavin Newsom, New York’s Kathy Hochul and Illinois’ JB Pretzker have threatened to launch their own district theory efforts that could give Democrats a boost.

After the new US Census Bureau figures are released, federal law will need to be rezoned every ten years. But Trump encouraged Texas Republicans to jump the process in the mid-10 years. When he appeared on CNBC on August 5, the president argued that Republicans “qualify for five more seats” for their 2024 election victory in the state.

The 38 Texas Congressional delegation is currently made up of 25 Republicans and 12 Democrats, with one Democrat leaning vacant.

Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered Texas law enforcement to arrest Democrats who left the nation, preventing Congress from holding a quorum to stop votes in his district. Many of the state legislators went to nearby Illinois.

But a longtime independent lawmaker on CNN’s “coalition status” said he believes Democrats have more work to do beyond the battles of southern constituencies.

Sanders, who travels around the country on a “combat Oligarchy tour,” which aims to mobilize voters against the Trump administration, accused Democrats of turning their backs on working-class Americans. For example, he argued that former vice president Kamala Harris was “strongly influenced by the very wealthy people” in the 2024 presidential election, when she lost to Trump.

“How do you run for the president and not develop a strong agenda that speaks to the economic crisis facing workers’ families?” he said. “Today there is more income and wealth inequality than we have ever had.”
