The
Democratic National Committee
(
DNC
) is the principal committee of the
United States Democratic Party
. The committee coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party candidates throughout the country for local, state, and national office, as well as works to establish a "party brand".
[1]
It organizes the
Democratic National Convention
held every four years to nominate candidates for
President
and
Vice President of the United States
and to formulate the
party platform
. While it provides support for party candidates, it does not have direct authority over elected officials.
[2]
When a Democrat is president, the White House controls the Committee. According to Boris Heersink, "political scientists have traditionally described the parties’ national committees as inconsequential but impartial service providers."
[3]
[4]
Its chair is elected by the committee. It conducts fundraising to support its activities.
[2]
The DNC was established on May 26, 1848, at
that year's Democratic National Convention
.
[5]
[6]
The DNC's main counterpart is the
Republican National Committee
.
Role and organization
[
edit
]
The DNC is responsible for articulating and promoting the Democratic platform and coordinating party organizational activity. The DNC is more focused on campaign and organizational strategy than
public policy
. When the president is a Democrat, the party generally works closely with the president. In presidential elections, it supervises the national convention and, both independently and in coordination with the presidential candidate, raises funds, commissions polls, and coordinates campaign strategy. Following the selection of a party nominee, the public funding laws permit the national party to coordinate certain expenditures with the nominee, but additional funds are spent on general, party-building activities.
[7]
There are state committees in every state, as well as local committees in most cities, wards, and towns (and, in most states, counties).
The chairperson of the DNC is elected by vote of members of the Democratic National Committee.
[8]
: 5
The DNC is composed of the chairs and vice-chairs of each state Democratic Party's central committee, two hundred members apportioned among the states based on population and generally elected either on the ballot by primary voters or by the state Democratic Party committee, a number of elected officials serving in an
ex officio
capacity, and a variety of representatives of major Democratic Party constituencies.
The DNC establishes rules for the
caucuses
and
primaries
which choose delegates to the
Democratic National Convention
, but the caucuses and primaries themselves are most often run not by the DNC but instead by each individual state. Primary elections, in particular, are invariably conducted by state governments according to their own laws. Political parties may choose to participate or not participate in a state's primary election, but no political party executives have any jurisdiction over the dates of primary elections, or how they are conducted.

All DNC members are
superdelegates
to the Democratic National Convention, and their role can affect the outcome over a close primary race only if no candidate receives a majority of pledged delegates.
[9]
These delegates, officially described as "unpledged party leader and elected official delegates," fall into three categories based on other positions they hold:
[10]
- elected members of the Democratic National Committee,
- sitting Democratic governors and members of Congress, and
- distinguished party leaders, consisting of current and former presidents, vice presidents, congressional leaders, and DNC chairs, are all superdelegates for life.
Current leadership
[
edit
]
In 2021,
Jaime Harrison
was selected by
President Joe Biden
to Chair the Democratic National Committee, and his nomination was approved by its members.
[11]
In addition, a National Advisory Board exists for purposes of fundraising and advising the executive. The present chair is
Elizabeth Frawley Bagley
, former
U.S. Ambassador to Portugal
.
Chairs of the Democratic National Committee
[
edit
]
Deputy Chairs
[
edit
]
The Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee was re-established by
Tom Perez
in February 2017 after his win in the
2017 DNC Chair race
.
After a close victory over Minnesota Congressman
Keith Ellison
, Perez appointed Ellison as Deputy Chair in an attempt to lessen the divide in the Democratic Party after the contentious
2016 Democratic presidential primaries
, which saw conflicts between supporters of
Hillary Clinton
and
Bernie Sanders
.
[19]
Perez was seen as being more in line with the Clinton wing, while Ellison was more in line with the Sanders wing.
[20]
The role's revival in 2017 has been described by critics as largely titular and ceremonial.
[21]
On November 8, 2018, Ellison resigned from the position due to his win in the
Minnesota Attorney General election
.
[22]
The position remains unoccupied.

History
[
edit
]
The DNC has existed since 1848.
[110]
During the
1848 Democratic National Convention
, a resolution was passed creating the Democratic National Committee, composed of thirty members, one person per state, chosen by the states' delegations, and chaired by
Benjamin F. Hallett
.
[111]
In order to strengthen the national party organization,
Franklin Roosevelt
proposed in 1925 that the DNC should open a permanent headquarters in order to function "every day in every year" and exist on a "business-like financial basis." In 1929,
John Raskob
led the creation of the first permanent national headquarters for the DNC in Washington, DC.
[112]
Watergate
[
edit
]
In the 1970s, the DNC had its head office, located in the
Watergate complex
at the time, burglarized by entities working for
Richard Nixon
's
administration
during the
Watergate scandal
.
Chinagate
[
edit
]
Chinagate was an alleged effort by the
People's Republic of China
to influence domestic American politics prior to and during the
Clinton administration
.
[113]
In 2002, the
Federal Election Commission
fined the Democratic National Committee $115,000 for its part in
fundraising violations in 1996
.
[114]
Cyber attacks
[
edit
]
Cyber attacks
and
hacks
were claimed by or attributed to various individual and groups such as:
- According to committee officials and security experts, two competing
Russian intelligence
services were discovered on
DNC computer networks
. One intelligence service achieved infiltration beginning in the summer of 2015 and the other service breached and roamed the network beginning in April 2016. The two groups accessed emails, chats, and research on an opposing presidential candidate. They were expelled from the DNC system in June 2016.
[115]
[116]
[117]
- The
hacker
Guccifer 2.0
claimed that he hacked into the Democratic National Committee computer network and then leaked its emails to the newspaper
The Hill
.
[118]
[119]
During a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager,
Robby Mook
, cited experts saying that the DNC emails were leaked by the Russians but did not name the experts.
[120]
[121]
The press and cybersecurity firms discredited the Guccifer 2.0 claim, as investigators now believe Guccifer 2.0 was an agent of the G.R.U.,
Russia's military intelligence
service.
[115]
[117]
[122]
[123]
2016 email leak
[
edit
]
On July 22, 2016, WikiLeaks released approximately 20,000 DNC emails.
[124]
Critics claimed that the Committee unequally favored
Hillary Clinton
and acted in support of her nomination while opposing the candidacy of her primary challenger
Bernie Sanders
.
Donna Brazile
corroborated these allegations in an excerpt of her book published by
Politico
in November 2017.
[125]
The leaked emails spanned sixteen months, terminating in May 2016.
[126]
The WikiLeaks releases led to the resignations of Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Communications Director Luis Miranda, Chief Financial Officer Brad Marshall and Chief Executive Amy Dacey.
[127]
After she resigned, Wasserman Schultz put out a statement about possible FBI assistance in investigating the hacking and leaks, saying that "the DNC was never contacted by the FBI or any other agency concerned about these intrusions."
[128]
During a Senate hearing in January 2017, James Comey testified that the FBI requested access to the DNC's servers, but its request was denied. He also testified that old versions of the
Republican National Committee
's servers were breached, but then-current databases were unaffected.
[129]
The DNC subsequently
filed a lawsuit
in federal court against WikiLeaks and others alleging a conspiracy to influence the election.
