“Ken Martin struck a defiant pose at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting here this week, blowing past criticism of his tenure as he rallied DNC members still largely supportive of his leadership,” NOTUS reports.“But privately, the DNC chair is signalling he’s open to a more conciliatory approach.”“Martin has suggested in recent weeks that he is receptive to changes at the DNC, including potentially overhauling how the committee raises money and conducts day-to-day operations. The people each described Martin’s openness as a shift from his previous resistance, and an implicit acknowledgment that he needed to do something to quell the widespread criticism of his first year and a half in charge of the DNC.”
