DNC Chair Ken Martin is fighting for his political survival as internal critics within the Democratic Party, including former Biden campaign finance chair Rufus Gifford and Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts, decry his leadership as defensive, his fundraising as lackluster, and his management as chaotic, even using the party's headquarters as collateral for a loan. This self-inflicted crisis, where a chairman is fighting his own party harder than the opposition, represents a shocking abdication of duty that actively undermines the democratic process at a perilous moment for the republic.
