Tom Perez nouveau président du Parti démocrate

Tom Perez n'était pas le favori des éléments les plus progressistes de la formation politique, ce qui explique que tout de suite après l'annonce de sa victoire il se soit tourné vers son rival comme bras droit. Pendant la dernière campagne Bernie Sanders a inspiré beaucoup de gens avec sa "révolution" et il est important de ne pas perdre ces appuis pour maintenir l'unité du parti. Est-ce que ce sera suffisant?

 "Immediately after taking over, Perez moved to name Ellison his deputy chairman, aiming to unify a divided party.

"When we have these conversations, sometimes spirited, sometimes difficult, that's not a sign of weakness, that's a sign of strength as a party and that's what were going to keep doing,” Perez said.

“If you came here supporting me, wearing a Keith t-shirt, or any t-shirt, I’m asking you to give everything you’ve got to support Chairman Perez,” said Ellison, accepting the role. “You love this country, you love all the people in it, you care about each and every one of them, urban, rural, suburban, all cultures, all faiths, everybody, and they are in need of your help. And if we waste even a moment going at it over who supported who, we are not going to be standing up for those people. We don’t have the luxury, folks, to walk out of this room divided.""
