Clyburn pushes for Jaime Harrison to hold top DNC position
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (right) and aide Jaime Harrison, director of floor operations and counsel, call Democratic members to determine where they stand before a vote on the economic bailout plan, October 2, 2008
December 6, 2020
Jaime Harrison receives backing from a key Democrat and fellow South Carolinian
Jim Clyburn, the longtime Democratic representative from South Carolina and key supporter of President-elect Joe Biden, is pushing hard for Jaime Harrison to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Politico, citing a congressional aide, that Clyburn, House majority whip, has spent the last few weeks advocating for Harrison, and has had conversations with Biden about the DNC chair position.
Harrison, a former South Carolina party chairman and current associate chair of the DNC, has the support of Clyburn as well as the backing of several state party chairs, and is inching closer to becoming the next leader of the national party.
Although Biden has not publicly announced whom he prefers at the helm of the DNC, many party members view Harrison as a natural fit. Harrison is best known for his challenge this year against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. While he lost the race by 10 percentage points, he raised an impressive $131 million during the campaign, making him the best-funded Senate candidate ever, Politico reports.

Clyburn publicly advocated for Black people to be named to Cabinet and high ranking positions in the current administration.
(Its happening now)
He privately demanded that Black people be selected for the transition team.(It happened)
Key role for Black policy leaders on Biden’s transition team
Eventually, the objective people will have to walk back some of the criticisms.

Agreed. One has to be fair. I'm still not holding my breath thinking there will be any major changes in the quality of life for the average Black American, especially those in low income areas. Still, taking a glass half full approach, it is nice to see representation in higher office for the sole reason that MAGA types are going to be pissed the next four years seeing all those women, Black people, and POC in that administration.

Clyburn is pushing for tokens and not transformative policies for ADOS, that seems to line up w/ the original criticism.

I think he's also setting the stage for the grooming of future Black leadership. Those appointees will bring along and hire staffers who will work in federal departments.
Working in the highest levels of government will prepare them for whatever career path they take, private sector or government.
Three of the cabinet heads have worked in previous administrations and have that experience already.
Rep. Clyburn personally groomed the man that he's promoting to lead the DNC, Jaime Harrison.
Clyburn is doing in politics what Tony Dungy did in football. Cultivated a generation of new talent, put them in positions to pay their dues and learn the nuts and bolts of the industry so that they are well prepared when they get a shot in the future.

I think that Fudge and Rouse will move the needle in their cabinet level roles.

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Barack Obama’s former national security adviser Susan Rice to run the White House Domestic Policy Council, according to people familiar with the decision.
======
Rice was on the shortlist for VP, so it surprises nobody that she was brought back into the White House fold. This time in a position that doesn't require Senate confirmation.
Anybody who still pays attention to youtubers and self appointed "new Black media", please update the thread when any of them posts a retraction video. After all, I think they were giggling and saying that Rep. Clyburn got played.I know the retraction won't come, just pointing out yet another instance of them getting something wrong(and not owning up to it)

For the 4 African Americans nominated for Cabinet level positions, there were 4 different juelzes.They not I posted in an ADOS group on fb about Marica Fudge being one of Clyburn's pick when they was just clowning him from a week ago, being named head of HUD, even though she is for HR40 ;people was still calling her a token and said he ain't shyt
Stacey Abrams seems to have turned down a key position, or else she surely would have been nominated . And there would have been a custom made juelz for that too.
People just say shyt and make up things as they go along.
Some people lost the right to be taken seriously a long time ago.
