Knives come out for the D.C. consultant class as Democrats search for a new leader

Democratic National Committee candidates are united in their criticism of D.C. consultants and their commitment to moving to the capital if elected. The field is mostly white and male, with the exception of Marianne Williamson. Economic messaging and organizing in key communities are seen as key factors in the party’s electoral downfall. The candidates have little to say about incoming President Trump, indicating a shift in the party’s resistance strategy.
