Obama’s Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez Elected DNC Chair over Keith Ellison 235-200

THE ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS BEAT BACK THE NEW GUARD …

Tom Perez, Barack Obama’s former Labor Secretary, has been elected the new DNC Chair.  Perez defeated Keith Ellison, 235-200. What does this mean? The establishment has defeated the young guns in the Democrat party. The announcement was met by protest from about a dozen Ellison supporters, who chanted, repeatedly, “Not big money, party for the people.” Look for further strife in the DNC as the establishment refuses to give in to the energetic leftist and progressives of the party. Many progressives blame the enlistments Democrats for Hillary Clinton’s loss and for the terrible plight that Democrats find themselves in. During Obama’s 8 years as president, the Democrat party has been savaged as they have lost the House, the Senate, governorship’s and state Houses across America. Now the DNC has one of his flunkies in charge. I guess this is just more Obama change you can believe in.

The Democratic National Committee elected Tom Perez as its new chairman Saturday, voting for the former labor secretary over Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison in a 235-200 vote.

Moments later, at Perez’s request, Ellison was approved as his deputy chair.

Perez, who drew support from backers of Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama, argued that the party needs to focus on voting access and down-ballot battles.

Ellison’s allies, who were aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ progressive wing, pitched him as the only candidate who could bridge the party’s divisions.

Perez’s victory came after the other candidates dropped out of the race. They include South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Idaho Democratic Party Executive Director Sally Boynton Brown, television analyst Jehmu Greene, Air Force veteran Sam Ronan and attorney Peter Peckarsky.
