President Barack Obama named U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida as his pick to be the new head of the Democratic National Committee.
Vice President Joe Biden informed DNC members of Obama’s selection in an e-mail yesterday after former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, who had served as the party’s chairman since 2009, resigned the post after announcing that he is running for the U.S. Senate. The DNC members must confirm Wasserman Schultz’s selection, which is considered a foregone conclusion.
