(CNN) - The Democratic National Committee is on the precipice of a dramatic change, shifting its role from oppositional force challenging Donald Trump at every turn to a political megaphone for a Democrat-dominated Washington.

And the man multiple top Democrats say is expected to become the next chair of the party -- Jaime Harrison, the former South Carolina Democratic Party chair and a Senate candidate in 2020 -- is eager to get to work.

"I don't have the job yet," Harrison said on Thursday, a day after both Senate races in Georgia were called for the Democrats, giving the party control of Congress in Washington. "I hope I get it."

Before the Georgia races were called, Democrats were preparing for President-elect Joe Biden's first years in office to be a slog defined by Republican roadblocks in the Senate. But once Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock swept to victory in Georgia, a new reality dawned on Democrats: The Democratic National Committee will not only be an extension of the White House political operation over the next four years, but arguably the party's most potent amplifier to herald and brag about Democratic accomplishments in Washington.
