Top Democrats Support Rep. Keith Ellison to Head of Democratic National Committee
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Democratic Party is looking to reorganize itself in the wake of
Tuesday's election. On Sunday, outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry
Reid said he supports Minnesota Congressmember Keith Ellison to be the
next head of the Democratic National Committee. Other top Democrats have
also backed Ellison, including incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Senator
Elizabeth Warren. Congressmember Ellison is the first Muslim elected to
Congress, and he's the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
