“I don’t have to tell anybody that from a political point of view, this has been a horrendous year. It appears that almost every day, there is something coming out the White House that is embarrassing, that is destructive, that is horrific,” Sanders said in a video posted on social media.

He spent most of the nearly three-minute video praising recent Democratic victories in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere, and touting the defeat of certain Republican policies, including a proposed “skinny repeal” of ObamaCare that was defeated in July.

Sanders said the same support is needed to defeat a Republican tax reform proposal making its way through Congress.

“Our job now, as we enjoy this holiday with our family and our friends,” Sanders said, is to take on Trump and move the country forward in a progressive way.

“So we have had a tough year and we're going to continue to have a number of very, very hard battles in front of us,” Sanders concluded. “But I just wanted, at this moment, to wish everybody a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very happy holiday season.”
