During CNN's coverage of Tuesday's election, CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that while the Democratic Party still attempts to fight for the working class and still feels loyalty towards the working class, "Democrats say, we want to help you become more like us. And the implication is that, somehow, if you work with your hands or work with your back, that you're less than. And these are the people who make our country go, and they deserve respect and dignity." Although, he doesn't think Vice President Kamala Harris did this during her campaign.
