State Sen. James Skoufis introduced Saturday his candidacy to grow to be the following chairman of the Democratic Nationwide Committee.
The senator, representing most of Orange County and the Catskills, touted his bipartisan attraction in an announcement video posted to his X account.
“I’ve won on tough Trump turf three times. I’ve won when governors face red waves, all while bringing the Democratic big tent together and never sacrificing our values,” Skoufis stated.
“When you outperform the top of the ticket by 24% you know a thing or two about brass tacks campaigns,” he added, taking a swipe at Vice President Harris’ election night time disaster.
Skoufis would face off in opposition to Ken Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Social gathering, and Martin O’Malley, a former Maryland governor and previous Democratic presidential candidate.
The election to interchange outgoing chairman Jaime Harrison might be held Feb. 1.
If he wins, Skoufis might be confronted with a demoralized celebration and the wreckage of Harris’ marketing campaign, which spent $1.5 billion in 15 weeks and is believed to be 20 million in debt.
High Democratic insiders, like James Carville, have referred to as for an audit of the marketing campaign’s books.
However Skoufis has already picked up assist amongst some New York lawmakers, together with Republican council chief Joe Borelli.
“Skoufis routinely outperforms the GOP in a GOP suburban/rural district. (Which is 3x the size of Mayor Pete’s city when he ran for chair in 2019. Worked out for him btw) The DNC could probably use his advice right now,” Borelli stated in an X publish.
