1. Bernie Sanders: DNC Absolutely Needs Massive Overhaul

Excerpt:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Wednesday that the Democratic National Committee "absolutely" needs a major overhaul, responding Wednesday to a NBC News report that new chairman Tom Perez intends to shake up the party's organizational structure and staffing.

"The Democratic Party today, programmatically, in terms of how it does business, has failed," Sanders said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I mean the evidence is obvious. It's not just that we've lost the White House and the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House. We've lost 900 legislative seats in the last 8 or 9 years."

---

Former DNC Chair and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell echoed Sanders' call in an interview with MSNBC's Hallie Jackson later Wednesday.

Rendell said the party needed a "culture change" because it had become too focused on Washington, D.C. and "big money donors." Rendell said many of the DNC's current staffers have done a good job, but there was need for changes.

Perez has expressed a similar sentiment in his month on the job as chairman, saying that the party needs to align itself with the activists opposing President Donald Trump and make "house calls" to every state and county in the country.
