From Fox News: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday elected Minnesota party leader Ken Martin, who once called for President Donald Trump to be tried for treason, as its next national chair in the wake of the party’s disastrous performance in the November elections.
The election of Martin is the party’s first formal step to try and rebound from the November elections, in which President Donald Trump recaptured the White House, and Republicans flipped the Senate, held on to their fragile majority in the House and made major gains with working-class, minority and younger voters.
“We have one team, one team, the Democratic Party,” Martin said following his victory. “The fight is for our values. The fight is for working people. The fight right now is against Donald Trump and the billionaires who bought this country.”
Martin wrote on X, “Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It’s the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair. Now we’re going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.”

Martin posted a video on X to ‘introduce’ himself, and touted the ‘generational change’ he has implemented as the chair of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota over the past 14 years. He said he now wants to expand the same model nationwide.

“Democrats need to ask ourselves each day: which side are we on? I’m on the side of the American working family. Not the robber baron. Not the oil and gas executives. Not the union busters,” Martin claimed.

In June 2020, Martin had commented on a report claiming Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, and bizarrely claimed that because of this, President Trump should be impeached and put on trial for treason.
What the actual f**k!?!? @realDonaldTrump should be immediately impeached and then put on trial for treason. His actions led to the deaths of American soldiers. He is a traitor to our nation and all those who have served. He is #BenedictDonald https://t.co/uAebVU7fiz
