Former DNC chief says he was taken for granted, seen as rubber stamp
- Jaime Harrison, former Democratic National Committee chair, said at South Carolina's 2025 Democratic convention he was taken for granted and seen as a rubber stamp during the 2024 campaign.
- Harrison's comments followed the Democratic Party's loss to Donald Trump in November 2024 and criticism that the party neglected Black voters and sidelined Biden without an open process.
- Party leaders, including Christale Spain and Governor Wes Moore, acknowledged that the party neglected its key Black voter base by focusing too narrowly on them only during election years.
- Harrison expressed anger over Black voters supporting Trump or abstaining, called Bernie Sanders's claim that Democrats abandoned the working class “straight up BS,” and praised Biden as the most pro-worker president in his lifetime.
- The Democratic Party is now engaged in a blame game over its 2024 defeat, raising questions about how it might rebuild trust with Black voters and unify its leadership moving forward.
