Bernie Sanders says Democratic governors have \u201cno choice\u201d but to redraw congressional maps in response to Texas Republicans\u2019 redistricting plan \u2013 which the Vermont independent describes as an attempt by President Donald Trump to \u201crig the system.\u201d\n \n \n \u201cWhat we have now is a terrible situation, and Republicans are making it worse. Well, what are you going to do? If Republicans are doing it, you have to respond. It\u2019s pathetic, but I think you have to respond,\u201d Sanders said.\n \n \n The progressive senator, kicking off a new swing of his \u201cFighting Oligarchy\u201d tour, spoke to CNN \u201cState of the Union\u201d anchor Dana Bash in Wheeling, West Virginia, on Friday in a wide-ranging interview that covered the redistricting fight, Israel\u2019s plans to expand the war in Gaza, the 2028 presidential election, and his view that the \u201cDemocratic Party has turned its back on what was its base.\u201d\n \n \n As Democrats in the Texas House have left the state to stonewall Republicans from moving forward with the redistricting plan, which aims to gain five GOP US House seats, governors of Democratic-controlled states like California and New York have threatened to respond with the same tactics. Sanders, who has long opposed gerrymandering, acknowledged that he still believes partisan line-drawing undermines the political process, but that \u201cDemocrats have got to fight back.\u201d\n \n close dialogAdvertisementclose dialog\n \u201c(Trump) is trying to, you know, in his authoritarian way, say, \u2018Hey, I don\u2019t want to lose elections. Let\u2019s rig the system. Give me five more votes in Texas, maybe some other states,\u2019\u201d Sanders said. \u201cSo, what should Democrats do? Sit back and say, \u2018Oh, gee, Trump is doing this terrible \u2014 we can\u2019t do anything. Let them win the election,\u2019 when they shouldn\u2019t?\u201d\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sanders\u2019 tour has aimed to galvanize people looking for some form of political action and resistance to the Trump administration with rallies across the country \u2013 sometimes with guests like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and former presidential candidate Beto O\u2019Rourke.\n \n \n Sanders on Friday argued the case to a crowd in West Virginia \u2013 a state that Trump won overwhelmingly \u2013 that the Democratic Party has turned its back on the working class. He accused former Vice President Kamala Harris of listening to billionaires who backed her presidential bid in 2024.\n \n \n Speaking to CNN afterward, Sanders called Harris a \u201cfriend of mine,\u201d but said her campaign\u2019s core consultants were \u201cheavily influenced by very wealthy people.\u201d\n \n \n CNN has reached out to Harris\u2019 office for comment.\n \n \n \u201cHow do you run for president and not develop a strong agenda which speaks to the economic crisis facing working families?\u201d he said. \u201cYou have more income and wealth inequality today than we\u2019ve ever had.\u201d\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sanders argued that the \u201cclue to Democratic victories is to understand that you got to stand unequivocally with the working class of this country.\u201d\n \n \n The Democratic Party\u2019s favorability rating among Americans was at a record low in a March CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Sanders had the third-most votes in the poll (8%) when Democratically aligned respondents were asked which leader they feel \u201cbest reflects the core values.\u201d When asked whether he would run for president in 2028, though, Sanders pointed to his age.\n \n \n \n \u201cLet\u2019s not worry about that. I am going to be 84 years of age next month, as a matter of fact,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that speaks for itself.\u201d\n \n \n But he told CNN there would \u201cabsolutely\u201d be a candidate in 2028 who could take up his mantle representing the party\u2019s progressive wing. \u201cI can think of some great young people,\u201d he said, without naming names.\n \n \n Trump, meanwhile, has suggested that Vice President JD Vance could inherit the \u201cMAGA\u201d movement. Sanders told CNN \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter to me\u201d who heads the Republican Party in 2028, arguing \u201cthe Republicans of today don\u2019t have anything of significance to say to working class people.\u201d\n \n \n \n Sanders is pushing the Trump administration not to send weapons to Israel amid a dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza and a major escalation in the war, after Israel approved plans to capture Gaza City.\n \n \n \u201cIsrael had a right, of course, to defend itself from the terrible terrorist attack from Hamas, but what they have done since then is gone to war against the entire Palestinian people,\u201d he argued. Sanders, who is Jewish, forced two Senate resolutions that would block some US arms sales to Israel that ultimately failed with no Republicans voting in support of them.\n \n \n But he told CNN, \u201cI think Republicans at a grassroots level are also catching on that it is not a great idea to provide billions to a government that starves children.\u201d\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sanders, who has long been critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said the country\u2019s actions have turned it into \u201calmost a pariah state.\u201d\n \n \n With Trump set to meet with Putin this week, Sanders condemned the Russian leader as \u201ca really awful guy.\u201d\n \n \n \u201cYou know, when you talk about oligarchs, Putin is one of the richest guys in the world, running a kleptocratic society, and then he invaded Ukraine with incredible destruction,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cPeople in Ukraine are suffering terribly because this guy wanted to start the largest war since World War II in Europe.\u201d\n \n \n Sanders said he\u2019s \u201cnot a fan of Putin,\u201d but would welcome any peace deal if the \u201cpeople of Ukraine feel that the agreement is positive.\u201d He cautioned Trump from an agreement that would sideline Ukraine\u2019s interests.\n \n \n \u201cIf, in fact, an agreement can be negotiated which does not compromise what the Ukrainians feel that they need, I think that\u2019s a positive step forward,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cWe all want to see an end to the bloodshed.\u201d\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Donald Trump\n \n \n \n \n \n The Middle East\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n See all topics", "ai_headline": "Bernie Sanders says Democratic governors have \u201cno choice\u201d but to redraw congressional maps in response to Texas Republicans\u2019 redistricting plan", "ai_simplified_title": "Bernie Sanders Criticizes Trump Redistricting and Democratic Party", "ai_excerpt": "Bernie Sanders argues Democratic governors must redraw congressional maps to counter Texas Republicans' redistricting.
