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.
