DNC Chair Won’t Step Down Despite Iowa Fiasco

The Des Moines Register reports:

Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez answered affirmatively when asked if he takes responsibility for Iowa caucus issues — but when asked if he would resign, he said, “absolutely not.”

Perez spoke with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” following criticisms of the Iowa caucus and a call for his resignation after results were delayed and included errors.

“Jake, look at the last three years. My job, when I came in, was to rebuild our infrastructure, to win elections,” Perez said. “We have been winning elections in 2017, 2018, 2019. We are better positioned to hand our nominee an infrastructure for success than ever before.”
