Ken Martin, the Minnesota party leader, has been elected as the new chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). This comes after the party experienced a disappointing performance in the 2022 midterm elections. Martin, who previously called for President Trump's trial for treason, aims to lead the DNC's efforts to regain lost ground and unite the party.
The Democratic National Committee on Saturday elected Minnesota party leader Ken Martin, who once called for President Donald Trump to be tried for treason, as its next national chair in the wake of the party's disastrous performance in the November elections.
In 2020, Martin called Trump a 'traitor' who should be tried for treason. ' should be immediately impeached and then put on trial for treason,' Martin wrote on June 29, 2020, citing an anonymously sourced news story. 'His actions led to the deaths of American soldiers. He is a traitor to our nation and all those who have served.
The chair election took place as a new national poll spelled more trouble for the Democrats. Only 31% of respondents in a Quinnipiac University survey conducted over the past week had a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, with 57% seeing the party in an unfavorable light. 'This is the highest percentage of voters having an unfavorable opinion of the Democratic Party since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question,' the survey's release noted.
