Since this is the closest thing to a general American politics thread, I was glad to see this news.
Quote:
President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. plans to name Jaime Harrison as his pick to lead the Democratic National Committee, part of an effort to bolster the committee ahead of what are already expected to be challenging midterm elections for the party, according to two people with knowledge of the selection.
A former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Mr. Harrison became a national political star last year as he shattered fund-raising records in his race against Senator Lindsey Graham, who was up for re-election.

Jaime is the real deal, and remains the only politician I've ever given money to. I'm glad to see him have an important role in Democratic politics for the next stretch, even if he couldn't unseat that disgusting sycophant, Graham. I hope he runs for something again in the future. He has real potential, especially in the south. Here's hoping he becomes the new Stacey Abrams, but on a national level.
