I'd say the most important criteria is vision. What is your vision for the party? Do you have a vision to strengthen the grassroots and help them turn out people in their local communities? That's the real thing. The real question is not about one person. It's not about an individual. It's about millions of people working all over this country to reach out in their local communities. And the DNC chair has to help them do that and have a vision for that and have the energy for that.

We want to be making clear that if [Donald Trump] tries to deliver on his word, that we will be there to say no.

Environmental spending creates jobs in engineering, manufacturing, construction, materials, operations and maintenance.

What I'm saying is we [Democratic Party] need to get much more granular.

I think that you need all perspectives to reflect the needs of the country. If you only give people one perspective, inputting their views into the congressional process, you're going to have a skewed outcome.

Our message of strengthening the middle class, working people, we just didn't penetrate well enough and we didn't have the kind of turn out that we really needed or expected.

I'm not here to cast aspersions on anyone. I'm trying to unify the party, not find fault.
