    There have been no public forums yet where the candidates have met and taken questions from members of their party, but those meetings are slated to start in the new year. The official election for the next DNC chair will be held on Feb. 1.

    This is actually incorrect. There was one hosted by the Young Democrats of America on December 7th with four candidates there answering questions. Is literally listed on the Wikipedia article for the DNC Chair election and the video is linked

    Direct link to the video (and cut to the timestamp when it starts): https://youtu.be/Z1sip1hofdk?t=840

    I’ve actually hardly heard democrats ever speak like they did in that setting (in a good way). Way more conviction behind what they are saying (as it goes along at least), generally more progressive, and overall more populist
