The Wall Street Journal: Jaime Harrison of South Carolina tapped by Biden team to lead DNC

WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden has selected Jaime Harrison, a former Senate candidate in South Carolina and a rising star in the party, to lead the Democratic National Committee, his transition team said Thursday.

Harrison, a former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, raised $133 million for his unsuccessful 2020 bid against Sen. Lindsey Graham. As DNC chair, he will be tasked with helping the party defend gubernatorial candidates and protect its House and Senate majorities in next year’s midterm elections.
