Hakeem Jeffries has power to appoint the head of the DCCC. So far he's quiet but people expected Susan DelBene to stay on before Tuesday happened. Sara Jones of California. Who absolutely no one has heard of before either, is being rumored but is not seeking it out publicly.

The DSCCs only interest thus far has been Kirsten Gillibrand. I think this is actually a great choice if it comes to pass. She understands electorates very well. Hopefully she can remain impartial to every candidate and not just women though.
The race for DNC Chair has widened yall. Names now mentioned aside from the three I said yesterday now include Laphonza Butler, Mitchell Landreau, Martin O'Malley, Rahm Emmanuel.
Jaimie Harrison not expected to stay on.
Edit: infighting already with Dean Phillips team trying to ice Ben Wikler for opposing his ballot access in Wisconsin this year.
More coastal talk for the House and Senate there. We can't just be a party from California and New York. Also, Rahm? Who, at least as I understand it, helped kill the 50 state strategy? Great.
Strongly suspect the outcome would have been the same, only Harris would have had to slog it out, endure attacks from other Dems, run to the left, etc., before eventually clinching the nomination. And then into the general election in no better and quite possibly a worse place. I suppose there's some alternate reality where she gets defeated by Dem Jesus who just makes an entirely different 2024 happen but I doubt it!
lol, this site is approaching full DK front page status. She was an objectively awful candidate from the start, which is why Biden kneecapped her to stick to the Dem establishment that forced him out. Last Tuesday proves this.
Good candidates can lose, or bad candidates can win, depending on the environment and locale they're running in. Plenty of horrible republican candidates won in 2010 and 2014 for instance, solely because of the environment.
A lot could be said about Harris' 2020 primary performance... but the 2020 primary is not a permitted topic here. In 2024 I feel comfortable saying she ran an excellent national campaign. She still lost, despite that. Maybe if she was an Obama-level candidate she could have eked out a win, but if that's our standard for good/bad candidate, then >95% of major candidates would qualify as bad.
There are absolutely things we can learn from this year to improve and do better in future elections. Her running a good campaign is not an absolution for her or our party from an impetus to do better next time. Ultimately I think the core issue this cycle was the political environment and that winning harder than losing as a result.
Mitch Landrieu would be an interesting choice. He’s apart of the Landrieu family and is considered politically savvy. Hailing from the LA also gives him an understanding of, like Jaime Harrison, being in a red Southern State.
Get Rahm Emmanuel as far away from the DNC as possible. He was an ass to Howard Dean when he was DNC Chair and became a hard liner as Mayor of Chicago. Not a good spokesperson or strategist when the goal is to implement a 50 state strategy.

I'm not uncomfortable with any of those but I'd prefer it not be Rahm(unfortunately, Butler is from California and I think that may unfairly hurt her)
Laphonza Butler was previously head of Emily's List and has direct experience running a grassroots network.
However, outside of Emily's List, I don't know what Butler would offer if she were DNC Chair.

Excuse my French; Fuck Dean Phillips !!
Or don’t.
Lmao😂
Why? He was clearly right. If Biden had been replaced sooner with a real primary the Dem may have won.

Our Dem Jesus would have been defeated by this Republican Jesus.

Considering her past performances I have my doubts she would have prevailed had it been open
Full disagree

personal insults are a great persuasive argument

pretty sure I am talking about wikler; so, again I say, Fuck Dean Phillips
