With a Democrat in the White House, the DNC chair is a mere functionary. She would have little say and no control over the party.

DNC Chair would be a dead-end, thankless job for her she's too smart to take it.

We would be in a good position to take back senate majority and kick Mitch to the curb. This may be the only thing we have been lacking in the last four years.

I repeat. DNC chairs do not have any power when a Democrat is in the White House. The White House runs the party apparatus, not the DNC chair. She would just be taking orders and would have no real clout. It would be a waste of her talent, skill, and platform. She'd be crazy to relinquish her role as a major leader to be a powerless functionary.

She can be much more effective doing the things you mentioned from somewhere else. DNC chair would be a step down and a dead end for her.

But I keep thinking what happened to Howard after he did such a brilliant job.

I always feel like I have to defend him because he's a quiet introvert and behind the scenes guy. He has championed downballot races, getting out the vote and calling out voter suppression all along.

If GA turns blue, she gets a lot of credit. We can't take that state for granted. Let her keep doing her thing.
