O'Malley ponders bid to lead dispirited DNC

As Democrats scramble to set a new course after their wipe-out in the presidential election last week, former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) is kicking the tires on a possible run to become the next chair of the Democratic National Committee.

O’Malley is one of several Democrats who have been mentioned as potential contenders to replace Jaime Harrison as the DNC chair in early 2025.

Colm O’Comartun, a former top O’Malley aide who was executive director of the Democratic Governors Association when O’Malley chaired that political committee, said several party leaders and activists have reached out to the former Maryland governor since Election Day and are urging him to consider a bid.

“He really believes in building the party and building the organization and helping people who want to run for office,” O’Comartun said of his ex-boss.

It's like leading the FL & TX Democratic Parties. If there's someone that actually wants the job, might as well give it to 'em. Roll the dice, and if we get further decimated in a couple of years, a new one can be found somewhere I'm sure.
