OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Democrats have elected Ken Martin, the party leader in Minnesota, to lead the national party. They’re turning to a low-profile Midwestern political operative to coordinate their resistance to Donald Trump’s presidency. Martin succeeds Jaime Harrison of South Carolina atop the Democratic National Committee. Harrison didn’t seek another term after the 2024 election when Trump became the first Republican to win the popular vote in two decades and made modest gains with core Democratic constituencies such as African Americans, Latinos and working-class voters. The vote took place Saturday outside the nation’s capital.
