The Democratic National Committee is gathering Saturday to elect a new chair. Faiz Shakir, Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign manager, only entered the race two weeks ago but is seen as the most progressive choice, vowing to push Democrats to become the party of the working class. Ken Martin, chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, and Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, have been campaigning for two months and are seen as favorites to win the DNC chairmanship. Former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson is also running.
