Preview:

Members of the Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to make Minnesota DFL Chair Ken Martin their next party leader.

Martin beat out Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, along with a handful of other candidates, on the first ballot to clinch the title. He received 246.5 votes, more than the 50 percent plus one of the 448 voting members.

Yeah. Basically, he'll push back on every good idea until he can't anymore and it succeeds, and then take credit for it. He's an establishment capital-L Liberal that doesn't care about the working class or wealth inequality or anything of the sort.
