Kamala Harris' unexpected journey to the White House started off with a bang.  But there was some bumps in the road.

    This year's DNC meeting will bring in a fresh face to lead the party.  As the old saying goes “new broom sweeps clean”.

    The 2024 political circus has already begun.  The Democrats biggest task is to decide on a strong candidate who will stick with them through the tough times.  Many think there could have been some changes to the outcome of the election.

    Some believe Democrats need to do a better job at appealing to a wider audience.  Especially those in nonwhite communities.

    Some say the Democratic National Committee needs to rethink its role,  Other's say  the party should have been more supportive of Joe Biden after his poor debate performance in 2024. There were some  big changes which may have given him the edge.

    Jaime Harrison, the outgoing chair of the DNC, has some strong opinions on these issues. He believes the party needs to be more united and strategic in its approach.

    Some say the Democratic National Committee could have done more.  Being a rubber stamp to the party is a mistake.  A lot of members feel they need to have an input into things.

    Some members of the democratic party are starting to think about re-building things.  Building new relationships.  Showing the southern states the democratic party can be powerful again.

    Jaime Harrison, who previously ran for Senate against Lindsey Graham, has big plans.  He thinks it is time for a new southern face to lead the party.

    He wants to show that the democratic party can be strong again in the southern states.

    Some may wonder what could have happened if the Democratic Party had taken a different approach.  Would the outcome have been the same? Who knows?
