Democrats will choose the new party leadership today – Boise State Public Radio

Members of the Democratic National Committee will elect a new leadership today, as the Washington Party seems to calibrate its direction after President Trump’s return to office.

The current chairman, Haime Harrison, is not running for a second term, so 448 DNA votes will choose his deputy during the party’s winter meeting held in Washington, Colombia County on Saturday afternoon.

The next DNC ​​chairman will inherit a national party apparatus, which has announced record fundraising, as well as record investments in data and organizing resources that led to more coordinated infrastructure with state and local democrats.

But the next chairman will also take on at a time when the Democrats do not have a clear leader, there is no clear answer to how the party was lost in November and there is no clear strategy about how to deal with the avalanche of executive actions unleashed by Trump during their first two weeks Back in the White House.

Who is running for a chair?

Eight people have qualified to be on the newsletter for the DNC chairman, including long -running presidential candidate Marian Williamson, former Senator Bernie Sanders Fais Shakir campaign manager and former Governor of Maryland Martin O’Mali.

But the general consensus among the members of the vote is that the next leader will be the party chairman for the Democratic Producer in the Minnesota Ken Martin or the Democratic Party of Wisconsin President Ben Wicler.

Both men have experience in the type of construction construction infrastructure, which is less obsessive side of work, and both to raise funds for fundraising that will be needed to implement year -round, organizing a strategy throughout the country that offer S

Without the White House or Congress control, the new DNC chairman will be one of many of the Democratic Party, which is still figuring out how to go from rejection of the urn.

What about the other offices?

DNC members will also elect a cashier, secretary and national chairman of finance, deputy chairman for civil commitments and the participation of voters and three candidates for the deputy chairman.

The rules of the party also indicate that “the State Officers of the DNS are as separated as possible by gender,” which means that the candidates for the three positions of the deputy chairman may be limited based on who wins the other positions.

At the Detroit Personal Forum in January, the more significant discussions included candidates for Vice-President and there was more criticism of Biden for applying for re-election before giving up the race less than three months until the election.

Joe Paolino, a former mayor of Providence, mayor of Ri, said Biden did a “great job” in his first term, but if he hadn’t been running again, then there could be a primary one and we could go through this process on a check.

Weapons control activist David Hog said that the party had a problem with anyone who called on Biden to retreat before deciding.

“We are not a cult, we should not be a cult,” he said. “We are increasingly becoming a party of removal, not an addition.”

Who should vote for the DNC management?

There are currently 448 members of the DNS vote, and although there is no official public list of names, more than half of the population for voting come from the chairman, the deputy chairman and the members of the National Committee in each of the US countries and territories, just as democrats in abroad.

The leaders of related groups such as the young Democrats of America are also members. The rest are the largest members to include long-standing party figures, union leaders and others related to former President Joe Biden.
