The Democratic National Committee (DNC) will elect a new chair and other key officers on February 1, 2025, at a winter meeting in National Harbor, Maryland. Following the party's electoral losses in 2024, current chair Jamie Harrison outlined a series of candidate forums in January to provide transparency and allow grassroots engagement. Candidates require signatures from 40 DNC members to qualify for the ballot, while Jamie Harrison confirmed his neutrality in the process, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding the party as it prepares for ongoing challenges under a Trump presidency.
