Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, announced Sunday that he is entering the race to lead the national party. “I’m running for chair of the Democratic National Committee because we need to unite. Wikler joins a competitive — and likely growing — field, including New York State Sen. James Skoufis, former Maryland Gov. and Social Security Administrator Martin O’Malley, and Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Ken Martin. Though Trump flipped Wisconsin earlier this month, he won by 0.8% — the thinnest margin of any swing state.
