Jaime Harrison Would Consider DNC Chair Job Following Record-Breaking, but Failed, SC Senate Campaig

Jaime Harrison said on Tuesday that he would consider chairing the Democratic National Committee (DNC) if Joe Biden were to offer him the position while building his presidential administration.

Just one week after conceding his hard-fought battle to unseat Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, Harrison told The Washington Post that he would "definitely" consider chairing the national committee if the opportunity to do so presented itself.

"If that's something that they are interested in me doing, I'll definitely take a good look," Harrison told the paper. He went on to say that he hasn't spoken with Biden about stepping into any administration positions thus far, but he has heard from others within the party who have indicated that they believe Harrison would do the job well.

One of the individuals that Harrison pointed to was House Majority Whip James Clyburn, who endorsed Biden in February shortly before Biden won the state's primary election. Harrison told the Post that while he "can't betray any conversations" with Clyburn, "I know that it's something that he seems to think that I could do."

Only if Stacy doesn’t want the job. She gets first pick of whatever she wants IMO.

Hands down, she has more than proven her worth to that position.

Love her to pieces 💙

Stacey Abrams created a miracle in Georgia, and she is entitled to anything she wants. She is a real hero.

If she does not want DNC chair, what exactly entitles Jaime Harrison to it?

Abrams needs to be high up for consideration, and even if she's not interested, I have a hard time seeing why Jamie Harrison would be a contender. Go win something.

There is wisdom that comes with loss, but you have to show me your victories for me to take that into consideration.

it would have been enough to consider him since SC is a right wing state.

But Stacey Abrams is the one that has really shown she gets what Elections are about and what we need to do to win. My view is that if she wants the job it should be hers .

If she doesn't then someone else but not Harrison.

I do think Harrison could maybe do something in the Biden admin.
