Senator Bernie Sanders warned Democrats they could face a wipeout in the 2022 midterm elections unless they "significantly improve" the lives of Americans, now that they control the House, Senate and presidency.
"Given all that we face, now is not the time to think small. It is time to think big, very big," Sanders said on Thursday

"With Joe Biden as president and Democrats controlling the House and Senate for the first time since 2010, we will be judged on what we deliver for the American people in their time of need. The people want action, not excuses," he said.
"And let me be very clear: I have zero doubt that unless we significantly improve the lives of the American people this year, Democrats will get wiped out in the 2022 midterm elections," the senator added.

But with Democrats in control of both chambers of Congress and the White House, Sanders worries that without significant reform to tackle America's most pressing needs, Republicans will decimate the party in 2022.
"That is what happened when Democrats had the House, the Senate and the presidency under Bill Clinton in 1994, and that is what happened under Barack Obama in 2010," Sanders said.
