WASHINGTON — A shake-up is underway at the Democratic National
Committee as several key longtime officials have lost their posts,
exposing a still-raw rift in the party and igniting anger among those in
its progressive wing who see retaliation for their opposition to DNC
Chairman Tom Perez.
The ousters come ahead of the DNC's first
meeting, in Las Vegas, Nevada, since Perez took over as chairman with a
pledge this year to unite a party that had become badly divided during
the brutal Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton 2016 primary race.
Complaints began immediately after party
officials saw a list of Perez's appointments to DNC committees and his
roster of 75 "at-large" members, who are chosen by the chair.
