Fed up with the status quo, former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir launched an 11th-hour bid to become the next chair of the Democratic National Committee and is pitching a message focused on the working class to help the party rebuild itself.
“I got into this race late in the game because I felt that a lot of candidates [for DNC chair] are now talking about the Democratic party wanting to be a working-class party, and I’ve been excited for this for the better part of a decade,” Shakir told the Guardian.
