“American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten is departing the Democratic National Committee, citing disagreements with DNC Chair Ken Martin. Weingarten told Martin in a letter dated June 5 and obtained by The Hill on Sunday that she was declining to be reappointed as an at-large member of the committee. … Weingarten backed then-Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler to serve as DNC chair during elections earlier this year. Weingarten was later removed by Martin from the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee. … Weingarten is a powerful figure on the political left [sic]. AFT boasts roughly 1.8 million members and has significant influence on the Democratic Party and its candidates.” (06/15/25)
