Biden taps revolving-door corporate lobbyist from Podesta Group to run DNC

[Counselor706]

The next head of the Democratic National Committee, hand-picked by President-elect Joe Biden, is a revolving-door former lobbyist for technology giants, the military-industrial complex, tobacco companies, major banks, Walmart, and more. What’s more, he’s proud of his lobbying work and has fought back against forces in the Democratic Party who would crack down on the revolving door.

Jaime Harrison, whose 2020 Senate run was notable for its breathtaking and record-setting cash haul, was until 2016 a lobbyist at the disgraced and since-disbanded Podesta Group. Now, Harrison will be the chairman of the Democratic Party, responsible for raising cash to protect Democrats’ razor-thin margins in the House and Senate. Harrison’s job will be, in effect, aligning Biden’s governance with the interests of his old clients and recent donors, including Google, Walmart, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing.

The Podesta Group was dissolved during the Trump administration amid revelations about undisclosed Russian lobbying.

Harrison became a celebrity in 2020 in his long-shot run against Sen. Lindsey Graham, which he lost by more than 10 points. The bright spot was that Harrison raised a record-setting $131 million. It's clear Harrison knows where the big money is, which makes him the perfect man to run Biden's DNC.

So you are saying Biden should have hired some nice conservative boys and not baby eaters.

Should have definitely put someone in who knows nothing about fundraising.

Well people who don't openly fucking loathe the USA like yourself would be nice.

Way too much to ask for from leftist democrats though.

Kinda hard to have any love for liberty while also being an ethno-socialist.
