Former Democratic National Committee chairman Steve Grossman has endorsed South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg to be the next chairman of the DNC, according to NBC News. In a letter sent out to DNC members – who will elect the party’s next chairman and senior leadership at the end of February – Grossman wrote that Buttigieg could, “transform the DNC through the power of his ideas and his ability to execute an ambitious plan.”
This is Buttigieg’s first big endorsement in the race, though only two other former chairs (Terry McAuliffe and Donnie Fowler) have endorsed candidates in this race (Tom Perez and Jaime Harrison).
