“Our job is to go forward.”

“I’m working overtime now to see we overturn Trump’s decision on DACA, pass a $15-an-hour minimum wage, and next week I’ll be offering a Medicare-for-all single-payer system.”
—Sen. Bernie Sanders

That was Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) terse response Wednesday when asked about leaked excerpts of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s highly anticipated 2016 election memoir, which both paint Sanders’ policy ideas as unrealistic and heap blame on him for hampering Clinton’s chances against Donald Trump in the general election.

Speaking to The Hill, Sanders insisted he is not interested in relitigating the 2016 Democratic primary or “playing the blame game,” particularly given the significance of the issues facing the United States in the present moment.

“I’m working overtime now to see we overturn Trump’s decision on DACA, pass a $15-an-hour minimum wage, and next week I’ll be offering a Medicare-for-all single-payer system,” Sanders said.
