Donna Brazile on Emerging Democratic Party Leaders: ‘I Have a List of About 52 of Them’

Brazile on Emerging Democratic Party Leaders: ‘I Have a List of About 52 of Them’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

Former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile said Monday that she has a list of "about 52" Democrats who she sees emerging as leaders in the wake of the party's loss in the 2016 presidential election.

Bloomberg host David Westin prompted Brazile's comment by saying he was struggling to identify clear Democratic leaders. He further compared the Democratic Party of today to the party after the 1988 election.

"After the 1988 defeat, we would be talking about the leadership of the Democratic Party and have a pretty good idea. By that point you had DLC going, you had Gore, you had Clinton. They were emerging," Westin said of the party's emerging leaders and the Democratic Leadership Council, an organization that encouraged Democrats to win back white middle-class voters.
