Progressives upset Kamala Harris is campaigning with Liz Cheney: Report
'Don't take the progressive movement for granted,' a director of a progressive group told the AP
Some progressive Democrats are upset with Vice President Kamala Harris' decision to lean on Liz Cheney in the weeks ahead of the election, suggesting the vice president should focus more on her Democratic base.

"The truth of the matter is that there are a hell of a lot more working-class people who could vote for Kamala Harris than there are conservative Republicans," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT., told the Associated Press.

Cheney, an anti-Trump Republican, has appeared on the campaign trail with Harris several times. Other progressive leaders, such as Sanders or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been "relegated to low-profile roles," according to the AP.

"She has to start talking more to the needs of working-class people," Sanders told the AP. "I wish this had taken place two months ago. It is what it is."
