DNC Chair Ken Martin Faces HR Complaint After Phone Toss at Aide's Desk
The complaint follows mounting internal turmoil as the DNC faces $2 million in debt and pressure over fundraising and leaked criticism, officials said.
- Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin faces an HR complaint after allegedly throwing his phone at a junior staffer's desk earlier this month during a heated discussion.
- Reports describe a "brutal work atmosphere" under Martin, who is reportedly gripped by a "growing sense of paranoia" regarding his job security and surrounded by a shrinking number of loyalists.
- Financial reports reveal the Democratic National Committee is $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee holds $128.5 million in cash on hand, forcing the DNC to cancel planned transfers to congressional campaign arms in 2026.
- During a mid-July meeting, DNC officials privately informed congressional leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries that the party cannot transfer funds to help candidates, prompting discussion of a new shared fundraising account.
- With midterms now only 100 days away, Democrats hold polling advantages on the economy and inflation, though internal financial struggles and leadership concerns complicate their efforts to retake congressional majorities.
