OPEN ARMS

And open wallets. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee – known colloquially as the DCCC – is the political committee whose principal mission is to support Democratic House candidates every step of the way. On August 18, they held a welcome reception and dinner in Torrey Pines, California, hosted by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) featuring our own Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The dinner was part of three-day major donor event. Other planned speakers on August 19 were White House Domestic Policy Director Neera Tanden, economist Mark Zandi and former Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. The solo spotlight on Whitmer could be explained as she is a co-chair of President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. It is also possible the DCCC is positioning her as a potential hot prospect for a presidential run in 2028.
