Some press on new entrant(s) into race for DNC Chair.
The Hill:
Democratic congressional leaders continued to try to influence the process and appeared to be welcoming potential new candidates to the race.
Both House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and incoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) spoke with former Rep. Tim Roemer (D-Ind.) yesterday, according to congressional aides.
“Reid has talked to him and thinks he would make an excellent chair,” saidReid’s chief of staff, Susan McCue.
Pelosi has been careful not to endorse anyone, offering only general praise for the field of candidates.
Last week, she told reporters, “I am working with our colleagues to try to build some consensus because when this chairperson or chairpersons are selected, we would want to have widespread support and enthusiastic support for whoever these people are.”
