First, Joe Biden has to pick his Cabinet and his White House staff. But after that, theres only one name on leading Democrats list for Democratic National Committee chair: Jaime Harrison, who lost a race for U.S. Senate in South Carolina last week. One thing that goes unmentioned in this article is that his 2017 bid for this position failed to get much traction in part due to his previous work as a lobbyist for the coal industry. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58751ff7e4b043ad97e607af But now that he's spent tens of millions on a campaign that lost by double digits, things are looking up for his career prospects --- kin to all that throbs ...

Nah I don't think that had much to do with it. It is kinda dumb he's getting the job after doing nothing but jim clyburn has been trying to flex since Biden got elected so better get used to him running the party (have you heard he's the reason Biden is president?) --- ...

No, no, no. Stacey Abrams should be able to electric slide her way into that position.

In an ideal world Stacey Abrams would do it and work her magic, but eh
I don't know enough about South Carolina politics to know how successful Harrison was as the state party chair, so Iunno. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console. Started on: 12/1/2009 https://imgur.com/mPvcy ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont really get this, he got destroyed by Graham despite raising so much money. We need leadership that can win elections.

It's not terribly visible. It's more of a fundraising/organizing thing. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

DNC chair is instrumental in developing campaign strategy and funneling support to important races. See the difference between Howard Dean's 50 state strategy and whatever the hell Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was trying to do. It's an important role that helps get dems majorities in congress. --- ...

I'm pretty disappointed. Harrison should've done what Beto & Abrams did and stayed in-state to promote Dems. SC is a R+6 state on cook PVI and has the demographics to flip, they just need a robust voter reg system. Harrison could've done a lot.

basically we need good in-state dems in viable states to work like Abrams to register voters. I don't expect dems in like Wyoming to do this, but there's tons of potential in states with high indigenous & black populations. They could & should absolutely work at the South and the Dakotas. Even if short term prospects are grim they could do a LOT long term that saves the senate for Dems imo

I mean, John Ashcroft once lost an election to a dead guy and then got appointed to AG, so this is pretty in line with American politics.

That's a downgrade. I remember during the DNC chair race he was even more open to big money politics than Perez. Big respect to Harrison's race against Graham, but he isn't needed as the national party leader.

But now that he's spent tens of millions on a campaign that lost by double digits, things are looking up for his career prospectsI don't really blame him for this. I blame all of the people that funneled buttloads of money into his and McGrath's campaigns instead of ones that were actually contested. If you read /r/politics though you would see that the kind of people who dumped their money into their campaigns thought it was a done deal that they would replace Graham and McConnell. --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel. https://discord.gg/Wgtz2y9 - Come join us for Among Us ...
