wasserman schultz. it did not do what he called house calls, one-on-one campaigning locally, did not invest in all 50 states in the moretory, basically a localized party. it is more about investing locally and early to organize all the time. that is something the democratic congressional campaign committee is starting to do. this is the lesson that was taken from the 2016 elections. his idea is not much different than ellison's. the disagreement between them are more fraught and based on external factors. coming from the results of the 2016 presidential elections, so a new role for the dnc, at least a new effort come of vision, or direction perhaps, would you say? , the dnc under debbie wasserman schultz again was seen as becoming listless andand not helpful to parties and states that were not loaded with money already. there is also pretty open criticism for people like perez, who worked for president obama for eight years, criticism of how the obama political network invested in organizing for america

i don't know why they did not respond to the debbie wasserman schultz fiasco. that is what cost them the election. they disenfranchised so many people who were so enthusiastic about the democratic party with bernie sanders and they pulled the rug out from under him. this was set up in advance. she was the anointed one and i don't see any change. going with allison would have been -- would have indicated a change. perez, old guard. goes way back in time. nothing is going to change. this is the old democratic party. they picked the candidate and the public just has to vote for that lousy choice. i see no improvement in the democratic party. perez was the former labor secretary. now the chair of the dnc. the deputy chair is congressman keith ellison. he spoke yesterday after the vote. you came here supporting me, ,f you are wearing the t-shirt i am asking you to give everything we've got to support chairman perez.

and debbie wasserman schultz and this pelosi, their time is gone. get on a horse and ride into the sunset where they belong. host: i want to give jim kessler a chance to answer. guest: there is clearly dissatisfaction with where the democratic party has been. i think that one of the things he said when he talked about fdr, it was jobs, jobs, jobs. i think there is a feeling in this country that the economic trajectory of people has changed and that whichever party is able to answer the question, especially for the interior of the country which is not benefiting as much from globalization and technology as the coast, that is the party that is going to dominate and lead. one last thing in conclusion, we have had six election cycles since 2006, and there has been change in five of them. there have been very dissatisfied voters, and they have been seeking out somebody and replacing them with somebody else. that sort of thing. what we're trying to do with new blue is fine something to bring folks together, economic messages that will work in all regions

wasserman schultz was forced out over the wikileaks controversy, is she announcing the votes? let's listen in for a second. she's announcing that they are starting to count the votes. you made an interesting point when it came to this, we are now back to paper ballots, they decided not to use any kind of electronic devices and in so many ways this does feel like smoke-filled bathroom politics with the same names coming back over again. >> well, after debbie wasserman schultz ran the party into the ground, the dnc convention, donna brazile, marshal, mayor franklin so on and so forth came in and saved the party, saved the convex, but when it's time to run for party chairperson, you don't see the same voices reflected. you see the establishment voices reflected. when you have people that after run state party not having opportunity to have voice and you see the splintering that takes place. >> a lot of the folks who are running the party, state chairs, congressmen, the senior part of the leadership are the folks that were around when you were in high school. >> i was in high scho

wasserman schultz out of the party position because in my view she was corrupt and tried to move the party in the primaries towards hillary clinton and she was a complete and utter failure. look at the previous block. look where the democratic party is now, in shambles. two-thirds of the state legislators are in control of the republicans. you just go down the list. the democratic power has no power in the country? why did that happen? it's partly because of the insiders and elites inside the democratic party, the consulting class, the same people trying to raise millions of dollars to run the exact failed campaigns that haven't worked. on the other hand, you see the energy at the state level. bern berniecrats have taken over 200 seats and nebraska chair is now a bernie support, hawaii, washington, we have the vision that i think can appeal to the american people. >> you have a sticker supporting keith ellison and the other two are supporting tom perez. >> the berniecrats who think this is an establishment holding on to the party when they don't want to go the direction he wants to g

bluntly, the past four years under debbie wasserman schultz is a nightmare, but this is a dream come true. >> because particularly the favoritism that she showed for hillary clinton certainly meant that the party as a whole took a big hit in the credibility. but when you say that everyone seemed as though they are on board or there seems to be a real united front there, in what way? >> well, name me a political party where everyone agrees and certainly democrats have disagreed in the past, but the amazing thing is here people who are supporting different candidates in this race are universally seeing not only in public but over a beer or whatever that hey, we're all about moving in one direction. we know the threat that is out there with the current president and we need to hold the republican party accountable for going along with some of the incredibly outrageous things happening right now. >> so r.t., you say you are throwing your support behind keith ellison and he's receiving a lot of support from, you know, a lot of progressive groups, even bernie sanders has thrown his support

wasserman schultz and why she stepped down and what was actually demonstrable about what happened in your party during the primary. people are finding ways not to say the word rigged, except mr. ronan, another man up there last night. if you want to bring your party together, you have to let those who feel they were wronged know how things will be right for them going forward. how do you do that? >> you can't pretend everything is going along fine. the status quo didn't work, it didn't work internally holding the party together and it didn't work externally. i know we don't like saying it or admitting it as democrats. we got beat. he won. yes, russia, yes, comey, yes popular vote, but it should never have even been that close. it's clear we need a different approach. it's clear that, if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got. we've got to acknowledge the mistakes of the past without being doomed to repeat them, without reliving 2016. i didn't love as a democrat living through the 2016 primary once. i don't think it's a good idea for us to relive it now. we'

"outfront" now, the democratic congresswoman, debbie wasserman schultz. so puzder's the first to fall, withdrawing, because of his own past, lack of republican support, also part of it. what's your reaction? >> reporter: well, you know, it's not surprising. there's a history of congress, united states senate, rejecting the nominees of presidents when they are revealed to have employed undocumented workers. it's particularly egregious, almost like a keystone cops, when you have nominated a labor secretary, who has violated labor laws. so, that, i think, was really, ultimately, a complete nonstarter, even for republican senators, who have, unfortunately, walked in lockstep, for the most part, to support his nominees. who have, in at least recent history, have been the most unqualified collection of nominees for cabinet that we've seen. >> when it comes to puzder, though, undocumented workers, obviously an issue here. but you just saw the video of puzder's ex-wife talking about allegations that her husband had abused her. we know she later wrote in a letter

clayton: she took over for debbie wasserman schultz. today in atlanta they will pick a new chairperson. pete: cheartd the democratic national party choose which way to go, go more to the left, more toward the middle. there is seven candidates up right now race down to two. keith ellison on the top and on the left boat tom perez former obama alicia secretary race down to them. we talked about keith ellison more exstrategic. abby: first to come out for bernie sanders elizabeth warren and chuck schumer. clayton: battle brewing because the old stall warts don't want him in there. if you say tom perez and keith ellison look similar. what's it about? comes down to loyalty according to this glen greenwald piece right now which is they are -- the obama people see perez as a loyalist. if they are cut out of this, those consultants all of those people tied to the former clinton machine are going to be out of job. they are not going to have any influence going forward. abby: this is going to be a huge role for whoever ends up getting it balls what

wasserman schultz stepped down from the dnc. we've got the candidate leading the pack in minnesota congressman keith ellison and then the number two would be former labor secretary tom perez. i want to bring in congressman gregory meeks, a democrat from new york, to talk about that. it seems like this race is very close. 11 :00 a.m. is the official first ballot. who do you think it will be? >> i'm not going to protect on that, thomas, i'm just happy about the process. it's democracy at its best. so many great candidates. everyone wants to give of themselves. it's a sacrifice that they're willing to make on behalf of the party and the country, so it's an exciting process. you know, it feels good, it feels like democracy to me, so it's great being down in atlanta while it all unwinds. >> sir, do you think, though, that whoever wins can heal the divisions and also tap into the grassroots activism that we're seeing pop up around the country. be able to helm that momentum into action? >> yeah, i do. really when you look at it all of

down, she gets pushed out, we only spoke being about debbie wasserman schultz a couple hours, because there was a decision made on the left, to change the conversation, to russia, and that is what the whole i mean it was like wildfire the today it took place really i didn't see it then i don't see it now what is the actual negative -- what is going on between donald trump and russians? it is a non story. >> a lot changes since if democratic convention intelligence community none partisan said we have evidence russia meddled in election transition and administration under president trump had been unwilling or unable very bizarrely to criticize russian government other republicans not just left other republicans particularly on the hill. >> you are absolutely right. >> exactly are very concerned about this so there are a number of ongoing investigations, they may come up with nothing but there is enough there that the gi to investigate calling fbi director asking go on background in a story is really -- really not something reince priebus should do. >> that is right. >> is that kind of
