"the new york times" writing about the difficult road ahead for harrison and the party said, quote, the party committee will have to bridge the divides between democrats who want mr. biden and his messaging to focusing on unifying the country and a liberal wing eager to pursue legal measures to hold president trump and his allies accountable. joining us now, juanita toliver and reverend al sharpton. rev, i'll start with you. you know jamie. i know jamie. talk about what makes him uniquely qualified to head the dnc. >> jaime harrison is as proven himself to lead the democratic party in south carolina is an excellent fund-raiser and an excellent person that knows how to bridge both the progressive and th

check out jamie harrison in south carolina. he had a boat load of money. he lost.s win elections. what i'm concerned with is trying to restrain, restrict corporation, individuals from contributing. i'm all for contributions of money into campaigns because money, in and of itself, does not win elections. but when you fight against dark money, like the president did in the swamp, i'm for a guy like president trump who is issue oriented. democrats are talking double talk. >> harris: that's interesting. katie, what about the fact that it's untraceable? are there problems with that? are there challenges with that? >> yeah. i think it's traceable in the sense that you know which groups are donating to which pact but the amount of money is difficult to kind of track down. the problem that i have with this is not about money being placed in a superpact. my issue is democrats have been railing against citizens united. they've campaigned against these issues. far left is always railing against corporate money and corporate donations. but when it comes to getting joe biden el

jamie harrison probably understands this, the new head of the dnc. we have to get rid of this idea that there are trump supporters that can be brought over to the democratic side. no. these people are committed to an insur ekdz and committed to violence and this country has to move ahead with the new majority and not trying to convince people that are living in the country not led by white men. >> jamie johnson, msnbc contributor. as joe biden counts down the days to his inauguration, the covid pandemic this as the u.s. saw a record number of deaths and the variants that could shadow the spring. could biden's plan be good enough? more attack on democracy after this. enough more attack on democracy after this ah, a package! you know what this human ordered? a backache. consider pain, delivered. pain says you can't. advil says you can. hi, i'm dorothy hamill. if you're turning 65 soon, like me, you might be thinking about medicare. i know i want coverage that connects all the different parts of my health care to keep me aging actively. that's the aetna

this is a job for jamie harrison.o tie not just every person to these issues, but show the dramatic and negative consequences. we lost days of congress where they could have been working. unfortunately the way democrats tend to respond to republicans is like republicans do something bad and they put a negative rating on yelp. when democrat -- like that's the difference, and the democrats need to engage in that behavior. you were both talking about aoc. she didn't want to shelter in place with fellow republicans, because she was legitimately concerned that they may rat her out, that they may tell some of the terrorists where she was hiding. so when you have members of the rep party who are seen as being in lockstep with a terrorist organization, the democrats have to stop saying -- they have to say these people are terrorists and don't want to govern. we don't negotiate with terrorists. the first democrat that says that is the person who should be the leader of the messages for the party the next 18 months. you can't n
