The New Face of the DNC

It’s just been announced that Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz will be taking the helm at the Democratic National Committee.

President Barack Obama chose the four-term lawmaker from South Florida to succeed Tim Kaine, who earlier Tuesday announced he would seek a Senate seat in Virginia. The move elevates Wasserman Schultz to a crucial role as Obama looks toward a re-election campaign that will use the DNC to define his likely Republican rivals.

The officials discussed the Wasserman Schultz decision on the condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public. Officials said Vice President Joe Biden would announce the news in an e-mail to supporters Tuesday evening.
