The voices are in and we have a winner for the job that only a masochist would want after the Democrats were stamped in the November elections: Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
The man, who now becomes captain of the Figures -Dnc ship, is the chairman of the Minnesota State Party Ken Martin, who with 246 Ayes from the 428 members who won with the first ballot.
Martin is not a well -known name, but he is known in political circles:
Mr. Martin is a party insider who knows about the DNC
He has headed his state party since 2011 and is the deputy chairman of the National Party. He also leads the union of the Association of Democratic Committee, a job that is rejected for state parties within the national committee – and a Power center That has irritated other DNC officialsBut one that consider his allies as a sign of his strengths.
As our Becky Noble wrote, he recently said in a forum: “There are many good billionaires who were with Democrats who share our values ​​and we will take their money. But we don’t take any money from these bad billionaires. “Huh?
The Democrats just chose a white man as their DNC chair.
Ken Martin has so much diversity!

Didn’t we get enough of the Minnesota from the politicians during the autumn campaign?
The Democrats only chose Tim Walz ‘”close friend”, Ken Martin, as the fresh DNC chairman.

In the run -up to the coordination, the Democrats didn’t seem much about their latest catastrophe in the ballot box, and instead of concentrating on things that interest people, they observed what they consider to be lost – “messaging. ““ Here is the problem that you have not yet found out: If your message stinks, it does not facilitate a massage.
The coordination at the winter meeting of the DNC has ended a month -long race that Party mechanism and messaging and not on Sharp ideological or establishing and activist battles The have characterized Other party management competitions.
A failure to adapt:
Democrats proclaim that the only “good billionaires” are those who agree to them and give them money
DNC holds a wild candidate forum, and Republicans may never lose a different choice
Interestingly, some party heavyweights Martin did not support and preferred another candidate:
In particular the chairman of the Senate reduction Chuck Schumer (Dn.y.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (DN.Y.) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Backed [Ben] Wikler, although their support was clearly insufficient to influence enough members to support the chairman of the state of Wisconsin [Wikler].
He got some love from former President Barack Obama, but that doesn’t have the weight it once did:
Congratulations to our fresh DNC chairman Ken Martin. Ken has done an excellent job in Minnesota and will bring this fresh role in this fresh role. Together we have to build a courageous, reaction -fast democratic party that can tell a convincing story about whom we are fighting and … https://t.co/0ik7dhbxxc

Now we know who will be responsible for turning the fading prospects of the Democratic Party. To paraphrase an venerable saying: “It’s a smelly job, but someone has to do it.”
