DNC Chair Won’t Answer When Asked if Pelosi Is ‘Drag’ on Democrats in Swing Districts (The Washington Free Beacon)

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez wouldn't say Tuesday whether House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) was a "drag" on Democrats in swing districts.

CNN played a pair of ads from the special election in Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district, one depicting Democrat Conor Lamb as one of Pelosi's "sheep" if he was elected, and another where Lamb explained he doesn't support Pelosi.

Dana Bash asked Perez if he would encourage Democrats in swing or red districts to step away from Pelosi, if Lamb's formula turned out to be successful in an area that went heavily for Trump in 2016.
