The Next DNC Chair: TOM PEREZ WINS, makes Ellison deputy chair

[Heisenberg]

Most of the Senators who supported Hillary in the primary who have endorsed someone in this race have endorsed Keith Ellison. Clearly the other candidates don't have enough support from Senators who endorsed Hillary in the primary.

Based on endorsements, it really appears that Ellison's base is Congress/DC establishment, while Perez's base seems to be more of the nationwide establishment, particularly Governors.

Ellison has a lot of support from state officials and unions.

Isn't it only the committee members and state party chairs who vote? Or am I missing something?

Buttigieg is coming to GW in an hour, anyone have a question I should ask?

Don't bs just straight up if you dropped out would you support Perez or Ellison

I would word it: "If you were eliminated and the options were down to Ellison and Perez, who would you back?"

The AP has a whip count of:

Perez: 205
Ellison: 153
Harrison: 27
Boynton-Brown: 10
Buttigieg: 8

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It'll be a travesty if Perez is elected DNC Chair.

BS (to the whip count). I'm pretty sure Perez has more.
Edit: Never mind, somehow I read Ellison as 205 and Perez at 153. Still, I expected both to be at around 210, and Buttigieg and Harrison's numbers to be flipped.

What time does the voting begin tomorrow?
