Report: Dean to Step Down as DNC Chairman
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is reportedly planning to step down from his post in January.
Howard Dean is reportedly preparing to step down as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a move one party official said comes as no surprise.
The Huffington Post reports that while there was some speculation Dean’s successful work with Barack Obama’s campaign might lead him to stick around for a second term, he plans to leave his post in January.
DNC Secretary Alice Germond told FOXNews.com that Dean was already expected to limit himself to one term, though he hasn’t made any formal announcements.
“Whoever is chair has historically done it for one term,” she said. “I think there was already an assumption that (Dean would) be moving on to something.”
It’s uncertain where Dean would go from the DNC, where he reigned over two consecutive elections in which Democrats picked up double-digit gains in Congress.
