Ken Martin, a longtime leader of the State Organization of the Democratic Party in Minnesota, will be the President of the Democratic National Committee after the conquest of the Saturday election, as his party asks to turn the page and recover from Prohibition 2024.
Martin was the front race from the beginning of the race, using its relations with more than 400 DNC members, which was written more than a decade of work in the Institutional Democratic Party. And these relationships showed essentially, because he won most votes in the first votes, more than 100 votes above the second place Finisher, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler.
The race hid more on the organization and raising funds for collecting candidates, but on their adequates related to the ideological soul of the party, as in 2017. year, after the previous election of the President Donald Trump. Martin was a more experienced hand with deep parties, Wikler was in the center of some democrats of the highest races in recent years, and the former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley had a unique election and government experience.
Packaging the DNC membership after victory, Martin called for the unity of the relatively silent race that occasionally received Chippy, and for fun to focus on the opposing President Donald Trump.
“We have one team, a democratic party and we have one fight. The fight is not here, it’s out there, “he said.
“Fight is currently against Donald Trump and billionaires who bought this country.”
Now Martin will have the task to help withdraw the Democrats from the hole in which they finished 2024, the devastating election cycle left without any leverage of power in Washington. But while Martin will help lead to the party, democrats do not necessarily want him to be a predictive leader of the party.
“We are fun from power, so we don’t have Leaders. And I think it’s broad, philosophical, someone could say that person would be our party. It’s not really true,” said Matt Corridoni, a veteran Democratic Strategist who worked for The Board in the past and also worked on the previous race for the DNC chair.
“I don’t know that anyone ever looked at the latest DNC chairs and said, that person was the leader of our entertainment,” Corridoni continued.
This term is not lost on Martin, which framed the role of chairing during its campaign to build a party that will be sheltered by democratic candidates up and a series of ballot, and helping the message is set as entertainment to take Trump.
“Donald Trump, Republican Party, this is the new DNC. We will not sit and do not take you when you fail to do the American people,” Martin said during the journalist session soon after victory.
“The role of the party is not only to go out there and build the infrastructure,” Martin added. “It is also to ensure that we define them outside we were sure that American people know what the role of not only these choices are not, but what is happening in this country.”
During that session with journalists, Martin said that his first priorities would look like “in the state of the party, finances”, watching “entertainment contracts” and starting the “post-election inspection process”.
“We don’t call him post-mortem or autopsy, because our party isn’t dead. Still kicks?” Martin said.
“Reality has added,” What we need to do is really start shaking hands around what happened the last election cycle. We know that we lost the ground with women and younger voters and of course voters workers class. We don’t know how and why yet. ”
The front racers were largely on the fact that DNC is needed to move forward: Ensure that the party has the resources to challenge each state in each state to adopt a permanent organizational posture and His potential voters and postmortem see the consumption of the Democratic Party, after falling on the presidential level despite the significant outdomodement of Trump and Republicans. All candidates talked to withdraw their message to new media, at the same time the emphasis of new messengers in part as a way of repairing a deeper problem – democratic plants with young people and Latin American voters.
Through the race for the success of the outgoing chairman DNC Jaime Harrison, Martin framed as an experienced choice to take the reins of the parties to the organization. During the decade of experience that leads to Minnesota Strangers, he regularly advertised his state race records, claiming that his state was the democratic lighthouse of hope, while the party took important losses in other “Blue Wall”.
As the head of the Association of State Democratic Chairs and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Committee, Martin has developed relations with the Parties to help him retaliate the votes that are necessary to win winners from the Wikler team.
These relations helped Martin Amass about 200 public approvals from the DNC voter, far more than any other candidate. And while Wikler picked up support from the best congress democrats, his own neighbor, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who were the democratic vice-presidential nominee, and a tail. James Clyburn from South Carolina, a powerful congressman who helped Jumpstart Joe Biden 2020 presidential offer.
During the short address of the DNC Poverty Council, he pointed out the Trump implication that the focus of the diversity, capital and inculcation programs for tragic aircraft in Washington in Washington, DC
“We need to quickly unveil as a party because they were never bigger for this nation. What we’ve seen these last two weeks is contemptible. They have been destroying communities for two weeks in her,” Martin said before is described to describe his childhood raised by a young mother in poverty “Ui from the shelter.”
“Our struggle is right now for the work of people throughout the country,” Martin added. “Think about the Donald Trump administration, their cabinet is worth $ 460 billion, above 100. From 1%, you give a curse like me, people like you or doing people like mine? … Our fight is immediately a fight for the future and it is a struggle for workers and it is a struggle for people trying to enter the middle class. “
Wikler fell despite the late Push and approvals from the main democratic figures, including the former Democratic Leader Hasteeem Jeffries and the Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, along with Kentucky’s Andy Beshear, Michucky’s Grette Bisher and Kansas’ Laura Kelly. Wikler also provided support for larger unions, including the American Federation of State, county and municipal officers, the National Association for Education, the American Federation of Teachers and employees officials.
In the statement, Martin, Wikler invited “everyone who supported me to join me with a Martin chair to ensure that the Democratic Party in our country is growing at our country in our country.”
The race was lacking the deep ideological division of the last competitive race in 2017. year, when the party had to pick up the pieces of disappointing electoral loss as well as parties violated by hacking and commissioning the division between the advanced and establishment of the Democrat.
Although the race did not have any other past races, Harrison took the microphone several times before Martin’s elections issued a vague warnings against those who harassed DNC members for their voting.
“I heard during the last few days, while we were here that people were compromised about their vote, people intimidated by their vote, that people called for donations and say that he will draw funds for his vote,” he said.
“People, on this party there will be no tolerance for that kind of behavior,” Harrison said.
Now that Democrats have a chairman, Rev. Leah Daughtry said the News of News to vote that the new chair “must become a standard holder, a visionary that can help our party go into a place where we need to beat the voters and win the elections in the days coming. “
“Now we have a complete team and I think we’re ready,” she said. She stated Trump’s posts on social media and statements after a tragic planion and a helicopter accident in the Potomac River at the beginning of this week.
“Instead that he can bring our country together, he created more divisions,” Daughtry said, putting more “focus” behind the effort for the Democrats to oppose him.
