Ken Martin, a Minnesota party leader, has been elected the new national chair of the Democratic National Committee, taking over from Jaime Harrison. This change comes after the Democratic Party's disappointing performance in the recent election, where Trump won the popular vote and gained support among key demographics. Martin and fellow contenders committed to refocusing the party's strategies towards working-class issues, strengthening their infrastructure, and improving responses to Trump. Martin's election marks a shift in leadership as he becomes the first white man to lead the DNC since 2011, emphasizing a commitment to diversity.
Martin and the other leading contender, Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler, promised to refocus the Democratic message on working-class voters, strengthen Democratic infrastructure across the country.
