Democrats had split reactions to the loss, disagreeing on why Harris lost the election. Vermont Senator [[Bernie Sanders]] criticized the Democratic campaign afterward, saying the party "abandoned [[Working class in the United States|working class]] people" and found that "the working class has abandoned them". He blamed "big money" and "well-paid [[consultantPolitical consulting|consultants]]s" for the loss, and he argued against sending billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bernie Sanders blasts Democratic Party following Kamala Harris loss |date=November 6, 2024 |last1=Pecorin |first1=Allison |last2=Deliso |first2=Meredith |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bernie-sanders-response-presidential-election/story?id=115582079 |access-date=November 7, 2024 |publisher=ABC News }}</ref> While expressing respect for Sanders and his views, former House speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] disagreed with the claim that the "Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class families", instead blaming the party's loss on Biden's late exit and the lack of an open Democratic primary. ''The New York Times'' reported Pelosi felt cultural issues were more to blame for the party's losses among working-class voters.<ref>{{cite web |last=Peller |first=Lauren |date=November 8, 2024 |title=Pelosi blames Harris' loss on Biden's late exit and no open Democratic primary |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pelosi-blames-harris-loss-bidens-late-exit-open/story?id=115652125 |access-date=November 9, 2024 |publisher=ABC News}}</ref> [[Democratic National Committee]] chair [[Jaime Harrison]] dismissed Sanders' criticism as "straight-up BS".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pengelly |first=Martin |date=November 7, 2024 |title='Straight-up BS': Democratic chair attacks Bernie Sanders' election critique |url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/07/bernie-sanders-democrats-election |access-date=November 10, 2024 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Writer |first=Aila Slisco |date=November 7, 2024 |title=DNC chair rips Bernie Sanders' election comment: "Straight up BS" |url=https://www.newsweek.com/dnc-chair-rips-bernie-sanders-election-comment-straight-bs-1982458 |access-date=November 10, 2024 |website=Newsweek |language=en}}</ref> Sanders also wrote an article in ''[[The Boston Globe]]'', in which he offered a list of "working class priorities" that Democrats should fight for. In it, he acknowledged some positive changes achieved by Biden but said that they were "almost never discussed within the context of a grossly unfair economy that continues to fail ordinary Americans" and did not address the anger of the working class.<ref>{{cite web |title=Democrats must choose: The elites or the working class |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/10/opinion/democratic-party-working-class-bernie-sanders/ |website=The Boston Globe |access-date=November 11, 2024 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20241111035546/https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/10/opinion/democratic-party-working-class-bernie-sanders/ |archive-date=November 11, 2024}}</ref>

Following Trump's victory, some Harris supporters on [[Twitter|X]] shared [[election denial]] conspiracy theories, claiming that millions of ballots were "left uncounted" and there being something "not right" with the election. Such posts falsely claiming Trump "stole" the election peaked at noon the day after at 94,000 posts per hour, with many receiving amplification and gaining over a million views each.
