Democrats are nursing a wounded party following President-elect Trump's resounding victory. Some are blaming President Biden for not stepping aside sooner. Others say the party needs to rework its identity to meet the working class where it's at. Either way, a red sun will rise in 2025 — and even for those victorious Republicans, the details of Trump's far-reaching agenda remain uncertain. Here's what you may have missed when newsmakers hit the airwaves this Sunday, November 10.1. A working-class reckoning Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks to CNN's Dana Bash during a Nov. 10 "State of the Union" interview about his criticism that Democrats abandoned working-class people.Sen. Bernie Sanders doubled down on his scathing take on the Democratic Party's dilemma Sunday, urging the party to recognize and prioritize the working class. The big picture: The senator's comments come after he eviscerated the party last week, saying Vice President Harris' loss was no surprise after Democrats "abandoned" the working class. "We are the kitchen table, working-class party of America. And that's why we are a close call in the House right now in a year where the map is bright red across the board," former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) shot back in a New York Times interview.Driving the news: "Democrats should be proud of standing up for women's rights and abortion rights and gay rights and civil rights, but the emphasis has to be to make it clear that we are prepared to stand with the vast majority of the people, many of whom are falling further and further behind while the people on top do phenomenally well," Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union."Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" about Pelosi's criticism, Sanders questioned, "If you're an average working person out there, do you really think that the Democratic Party is going to the mats, taking on powerful special interests and fighting for you?""I think the overwhelming answer is no."Zoom out: Post-election polling from Democratic strategy group Blueprint found that swing voters' top reason for not choosing Harris was a perception that she was "focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class," Axios' Zachary Basu reports.While reality depicts a strengthening economy, many Americans remain convinced it is doing worse: A belief Trump effectively harnessed ahead of November's election.What they're saying: While some Dems have rejected Sanders' argument, others on the Sunday show circuit echoed his message that the party's pitch didn't appeal to the voters it needed most. "The reason we didn't win ultimately is we didn't listen enough to people on the ground ... who were saying, talk about the economy, talk about people's economic struggles," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" Sunday.Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who launched an unsuccessful challenge to Biden's since-retired 2024 run, similarly lamented the party's messaging struggles: "Our product is not the real problem, our packaging, our messengers and our distribution is a real problem."Phillips continued: "And I think it's fair to say if you ask people what the Democratic brand stands for right now, it's real complicated."Zoom out: Even after Biden touted himself as the most pro-union president in history, joined a picket line and invested in manufacturing jobs (and after Harris proposed tax cuts for middle-class families, among other measures directed at the working class), Trump secured that sought-after vote.Sanders says that's because Trump explained the reasons for their troubles, though he also criticized Trump's explanation as "bogus," saying the president-elect blamed economic hardship on "zillions of illegal immigrants coming over and ... eating your cats and dogs." But there was a "reason" to explain voters' struggles that resonated nonetheless, Sanders said.2. GOP gives little clarity on Trump's mass deportation plan Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) speaks during an interview aired Sunday with NBC's "Meet the Press."Trump's team says he plans to launch the "largest mass deportation operation" of undocumented immigrants on Day 1 in office. The bottom line: The details of how he'll take on the mammoth and costly task of deporting millions of people remain murky.Trump told NBC News Thursday there is "no price tag" on his plan — a statement Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), poised to be the Senate majority whip next Congress, echoed Sunday."I agree there's no price tag on protecting the safety and security of our country and our citizens," Barrasso told NBC's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press.""President Trump is going to enforce the law, and we haven't had that over the last four years," he continued.By the numbers: While there is no concrete total of how much Trump's lofty goal could cost, several estimates suggest that deporting just 1 million people could cost tens of billions of dollars.Axios reported in February that to carry out deportations, Trump would mobilize Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — along with the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, federal prosecutors, the National Guard and state and local law enforcement officers.Zoom in: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and other Trump allies reaffirmed Sunday the president-elect would start with "migrants here who have committed crimes.""How are you going to find them?" CNN's Dana Bash asked Jordan."The ones who have committed crimes," Jordan repeated, highlighting the 1.3 million migrants who have already been issued removal orders.Bash questioned what jurisdiction would execute deportations, to which Jordan replied, "The Department of Homeland Security will work with local law enforcement."Trump has said he'd target some 15-20 million people.A September report from the Center for Migration Studies estimated some 11.7 million undocumented immigrants lived in the U.S. as of July 2023.Asked if Dreamers shielded by former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program should be deported, Jordan said, "The country wants the law enforced ... that question will be addressed later on."Zoom out: Tom Homan, the former acting ICE director, argued on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures" the plan will be a "cost savings to the American people" and will be a "a well-targeted, planned operation conducted ... by the men of ICE."Trump has suggested he'd tap Homan, a contributor to Project 2025 who played a role in the Trump-era family separation policy, for his second administration.3. Ex-Harris spokesperson stuns panel Jamal Simmons speaks on a CNN "State of the Union" panel on Nov. 10.A CNN panelist surprised the rest of the table on "State of the Union" Sunday with the idea that President Biden could hand over the rest of his term to Harris.Driving the news: Jamal Simmons, Harris' former communications director, proposed that Biden step down "within the next 30 days" and make Harris president."It would absolve her from having to oversee the January 6th transition, right, of her own defeat," Simmons added. "It would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn, drama and transparency and doing things the public want to see."What they're saying: The suggestion shocked both the show's host Dana Bash and several fellow commentators. "Okay, this has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show," Bash said after Simmons finished his explanation.Scott Jennings, who also sat on the panel, joked that Simmons was writing a season of the Netflix political drama "House of Cards."Zoom in: Simmons continued his thoughts in a thread posted to X. "Dems have better policies but we must realize the old rules no longer apply. We are not playing table tennis. We are in a mixed martial arts fight and Americans respond to drama and excitement. We should use that to make our arguments for a better path forward," he wrote.Reality check: Biden has not indicated that he would leave office early.Read more from Axios' Sunday coverage: Rep.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) laid into his party in a "Fox News Sunday" interview, arguing that Democrats with concerns about President Biden were "suppressed and disenfranchised" during the 2024 primaries.Why it matters: The onetime Biden primary opponent, who is retiring from Congress this year, appears to be positioning himself as one of Democrats' most vocal internal critics."We have a political system ... that really has incentives that actually are working against us. And the corruption has to be addressed," he said to "Fox News Sunday" anchor Shannon Bream. "Both parties are subject to it. And I'm going to start telling a lot of truths here in the coming months and years."Driving the news: Phillips told Bream that Democrats "ignored" his warnings about Biden's age and ability to take on President-elect Trump."I think that's what frankly has led to Trumpism, people getting tired, being on the sidelines and their voices diminished," he said.Phillips said he is "on a mission now to expose the truth and promote transparency, shine some sunlight on reality and hopefully provide some competition for two parties," but stopped short of saying he is leaving the Democratic Party.Between the lines: Phillips based his 2024 primary challenge against Biden on the argument that the 81-year-old was too old to take on Trump – and perceived by voters as too old to serve as president.He struggled to gain headway, however, garnering just 20 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary while 64 percent of voters wrote in Biden, who was not on the ballot.He suspended his campaign after Super Tuesday, garnering just four delegates to Biden's 3,905, but Biden later dropped his reelection bid following his disastrous debate performance against Trump in June.Phillips was ostracized and publicly criticized by many fellow Democrats, including some of his friends in Congress, for his challenge to Biden.Zoom in: Phillips said he has "heard complaints from many people that they couldn't get to President Biden. They couldn't spend time with him.""There was this shield that propped him up as being maybe more mentally and physically fit than he was for the campaign ahead," he said.Phillips suggested Vice President Harris was similarly weak against Trump, saying Biden "was not the only one that could have beaten Donald Trump. He was one of the few that couldn't. And sadly, we ended up elevating yet another candidate who was not positioned well to win."

New York prosecutors this week hit back at former President Donald Trump and his attempts to get out of paying $464 million in fraud damages, court records show. Attorney General Letitia James' office delivered Wednesday a 168-page argument to the New York Court of Appeals detailing the many reasons they believe Trump's appeal of his civil fraud case doesn't pass muster."For years, the Trump Organization and its top executives engaged in a fraudulent and illegal scheme to misleadingly inflate the net worth of defendant Donald J. Trump," James' team writes. "Defendants do not meaningfully dispute that they engaged in most of these deceptions to falsely inflate the values of Mr. Trump’s assets. Instead, they rely on speculative and unsupported contentions." ALSO READ: Donald Trump exploits AP photo error for new $99 'Save America' bookTrump's appeal of the landmark rulings — Justice Arthur Engoron found the former president liable for fraud in 2023 before his trial then demanded the multi-million dollar payment upon its conclusion — will head to the First Department appellate division on Sept. 26, court records show. Trump submitted a $175 million bond in the spring and mounted an appeal, which is not expected to conclude before the 2024 presidential election. The Republican presidential nominee denies wrongdoing and argues that because no one was harmed, the judgment was unconstitutional, court records show. On Wednesday, the New York Attorney General's office dismissed the question of harm as immaterial and reiterate the initial argument that Trump for years inflated the value of his assets to defraud lenders and investors. "On appeal, defendants tellingly ignore almost all their deceptions," the filing states. "It is well-established that neither reliance nor victims’ losses— which are elements of common-law fraud—is required...Indeed, one of § 63(12)’s core remedial purposes is to protect the honesty and integrity of commercial marketplaces in New York by stopping fraudulent and illegal practices before they cause financial losses to market participants or broader harms to the public."Put more simply, prosecutors' argument boils down to "Defendants are wrong on the law."

A select group of Massachusetts Democrats is about to become even more influential.President Joe Biden’s quick endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris might have been meant as a neat hand-off of the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate baton, but it is ultimately up to the delegates to next month’s Democratic National Convention — including 116 from Massachusetts — to decide who will be the party’s nominee.“Elections are always about math; this one is no different. She announced she was running for president yesterday, she started calling delegates and political leaders yesterday, she’s gathering an awful lot of support between yesterday and today. The person who gets the most delegates first gets the nomination,” Mass. Democratic Party Chairman Steve Kerrigan said Monday morning on GBH Radio in response to a question about a “coronation” for Harris. “This is not an insider game. This is just how politics works in any party and in any nation. And so this is not about a coronation, this is about organization.”The Massachusetts Democratic Party has a total of 116 delegates and eight alternates, according to the party. Sixty delegates and the eight alternates were chosen by Congressional district-level caucuses this spring and 20 at-large delegates were chosen by the Democratic State Committee. The party also has 24 “automatic party leaders and elected official” delegates and 12 “pledged party leaders and elected officials” delegates.A Democratic Party spokesman said there will be a call Monday night among the Mass. Democratic State Committee and a separate call for national delegates. The spokesman said that party delegates will be able to vote for the presidential candidate of their choice, but that the party will wait until after the calls to further discuss the next steps of the process.Kerrigan told GBH’s “Boston Public Radio” that he was on a similar call Sunday night with representatives of the 57 state, territory and other Democratic Party chapters. He said some state parties “overwhelmingly” endorsed Harris during Sunday night’s call, but Massachusetts was not one of them.“Some states are allowed the chair or the executive committee to just make those endorsements, and then get the state committee to back that up. Others, like ours, require a meeting of our state committee,” Kerrigan said Monday morning. “But what you saw was unity around the importance of beating Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, and an understanding that President Biden’s patriotism is unparalleled and his support for Vice President Harris is immeasurable.”Before last month’s debate, 62 percent of Massachusetts DNC delegates told a MassINC survey that Biden should stay in the race. When presented with the hypothetical of Biden leaving the race, 67 percent of delegates said they would be open to considering Harris and 53 percent said the VP would give the party its best chance to win this fall — by far the highest percentages of any of the dozen Democrats offered as potential candidates.More on Kamala HarrisDecision 20248 hours agoHarris wins Pelosi endorsement, claims most of the delegates she needs for the nominationnews15 hours agoLive updates: Harris, Democrats net $100 million in online donations after Biden exits raceKamala Harris9 hours agoHere's which New England politicians have endorsed Kamala Harris for presidentBiden, with Harris as his declared running mate, won the Massachusetts presidential primary on March 5 with 81.6 percent of the vote (533,096 votes in total). U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota got 4.5 percent of the 662,609 Democratic primary ballot votes cast, author Marianne Williamson received 3.1 percent, and 9.2 percent of ballots (60,236) were cast for “no preference,” according to official results.And while many Massachusetts Democrats were quick to endorse Harris to take the baton from Biden as the party’s 2024 nominee, there are some exceptions and a glaring one was removed on Monday afternoon: Gov. Maura Healey.Healey, a super-surrogate for the Biden campaign who seemed to ruffle some feathers at the White House with the way she called for Biden to reconsider his candidacy in recent weeks, issued a statement Sunday praising Biden’s service, but did not address who she would support as the party’s nominee in his place.Healey did not have any public events scheduled Monday and a spokesman for her political operation did not return a call from the News Service. But just before 2:30 p.m., the governor’s political arm issued a statement in which the governor endorsed Harris.“Kamala Harris is a proven leader who has delivered for the American people again and again. As President, she will grow our economy, reduce costs, create jobs, and make sure every woman has access to the health care she needs. She’ll lay the foundation for lower interest rates and prosperity, and she’ll support NATO and American leadership abroad. I also know she will deliver for Massachusetts and support growth, innovation and investment in our state,” Healey said. “Kamala Harris is the best person to make the case against Donald Trump. Trump is coming after our rights and our freedoms. And he will jack up costs on the middle class by gutting Social Security, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act.”Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll also put out a statement Monday afternoon backing Harris, saying that “there is no one better prepared to stand up for our democracy, to lead on our values, to carry forward the interests of Team Massachusetts and to beat Donald Trump than Kamala Harris.”Asked about Healey’s lack of an endorsement by Monday morning, Kerrigan said on GBH Radio he does not “think anybody understands more what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done for Massachusetts and for the country than Governor Healey, and they’ve been fantastic partners.”“And I’ll let her speak for herself on this, but she understands what’s at stake in this election and she knows the type of leadership that Kamala Harris can bring to the table,” Kerrigan said about three hours before Healey’s statement.Before joining Biden on his 2020 ticket, Harris was among the Democrats who ran for president that cycle, but she withdrew before the voting began in the face of fundraising challenges and low polling numbers.

The Democratic National Committee is scrambling to finalize and execute a plan to compress its "virtual roll call" into the first few days of August, according to people familiar with the matter.Why it matters: Despite growing backlash from Democrats worried about officially nominating President Biden weeks before the convention, top DNC officials are moving forward to codify him as the party's nominee by Aug. 7.The goal is to use their convention week to talk up their candidate and tear apart former President Trump.Behind the nasty public debate on whether Biden should be nominated early, there are private conversations on whether there's enough time to do it securely, transparently and effectively via a virtual process. The reality of the challenge will come into sharper focus after the DNC's rules committee meets on Friday to approve a tentative plan to start voting Aug. 1. The plan won't be formally announced until after there's a credentials committee meeting on July 21.That will set up a frantic two weeks, which could be more chaotic if Biden decides to drop out of the race.Between the lines: Delegates remained concerned that the virtual voting process is really just a way to ensure that Biden is the party's nominee, and to quash the internal rebellion pushing him to step aside.There's deep skepticism about the DNC's stated reason for the virtual roll call — a Aug. 7 deadline to get on the ballot in Ohio — after Ohio changed its law.Some delegates are pleading for more time and an actual floor vote."I need to be convinced that it is necessary to vote virtually in early August," said Gilberto Hinojosa, the chair of Texas Democrats and Rules Committee member."I've always understood that that is what the convention is for," he said.Driving the news: In an internal communication Wednesday morning, the rules committee co-chairs announced that the virtual voting would not begin until Aug. 1.But for several days, there have been deep concerns among DNC officials on how they will actually collect the ballots – especially from older delegates – before Aug 7, according to people familiar with the matter.Zoom in: Before ballot counting even begins the DNC will have to communicate their plan to the public, and dubious delegates.They will also have to train state party officials and email ballots to some 4,000 convention delegates."Given COVID safety concerns during the roll call in 2020, the Convention was required to conduct a virtual vote, and there's both sufficient expertise and time to effectively execute a virtual roll call in advance of the Ohio deadline," said a DNC spokesperson."As the Rules Committee Chairs wrote in their letter to Rules Members yesterday, they are determined to ensure that President Biden is on the ballot in all 50 states in spite of the bad-faith actions of MAGA Republicans in Ohio," the spokesperson said.Zoom out: In the last 24 hours, Biden has been hit by COVID — and a series of stories about senior Democrats, like Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), suggesting that the race is unwinnable for him.Within the party, there are real questions on whether Biden will be the party's nominee.While the DNC is preparing for "additional challengers", it is still proceeding under the assumption that Biden will be the nominee.The bottom line: In a Monday email to delegates, which was mostly focused on the delegates' demographic details, the DNC asked delegates to indicate on a drop-down menu on who they will vote for: Joe Biden, Jason Palmer (who won American Samoa), Rep. Dean Phillips, or "uncommitted."Answers to that questionnaire will essentially give the DNC a whip count on how firm – or soft – support for Biden is among actual delegates.
