Partyman: Former DNC Chairman Tom Perez

This week, former Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez joins Major at Busboys and Poets in Takoma Park, DC. Perez recently finished 2nd in Maryland's gubernatorial primary and conceded to the winner, Wes Moore. "Yeah, am I disappointed? Of course. We fought like heck. But you know what, what we do at the end of primaries is we come together around our shared values and that's exactly what I'm doing now." Perez has thrown his weight behind Moore and plans to do campaign rallies with him.

Perez predicts Democrats will keep senate control after the 2022 midterms, in part because Republicans nominated Trump-allied candidates in several key states. "We defeated Trump but we didn't defeat Trumpism."

Perez now is now the co-chair of American Bridge 21st Century, a super PAC that supports Democratic candidates.
