Ben Wikler, who served as Wisconsin Democrats’ leader for the past five years, said he is running for the role to “unite the party, fight everywhere, and win.”

Speaking on CNN’s “Inside Politics” with host Manu Raju, Wikler said, “I’m running for chair of the Democratic National Committee because we need to unite, we need to fight, and we need to win to stop the GOP from ripping this country apart and ripping off working people to enrich mega billionaires.”
