NPR  

If Chosen To Be DNC Chief, Jaime Harrison Pledges To Rebuild The Party DAVID GREENE, HOST: We've been chatting on this program with some of the people who want to lead the Democratic Party back.

Let me just ask you - you've also spent a good portion of your career working at the Podesta Group, a lobbying firm founded by Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta.
