The American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten's resignation from the convention comes after she criticized the leadership of Ken Martin, who is the chairman of the DNC.
She said in part in a letter that she appears to be out of step with the leadership Martin is forging, and she does not want to be the one who keeps questioning "why we are not enlarging our tent and actively trying to engage more of our communities."
Tudor Dixon is a former Michigan gubernatorial candidate who talked about this on Fox News Channel.
"I think the more important thing to talk about here is that the Democrat party is not radical enough for these people. We said that for a long time, especially during 2020 when Randi Weingarten was keeping kids out of school. She had a huge influence over our children's education, and it was for the negative. Yet people were saying she's just a moderate Democrat," Dixon says.
Dixon also mentioned David Hogg, the now former co-chair of the DNC.
“David Hogg was ousted because he was trying to primary Democrats that he did not think were socialist enough. This party is breaking right now because it's not the moderate old Democrat party. They are moving towards socialism, and when she says she wants to include other communities, they are not American communities. That's the problem,” Dixon explains.
Not only have Weingarten and Hogg exited the party, but so has Lee Saunders, who is the chief of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. He said his decision to leave was not made lightly, but new times require new strategies and thinking. It is not apparent if there are any specific grievances he might have with the new direction of the Democrat party.
Independent journalist Nick Sorter posted on X about Weingarten resigning from the DNC after 23 years because of her spat with Ken Martin, recognizing the divide the party is going through.
“The Democrat party is collapsing before our eyes,” the post reads with a laughing emoji.
Sorter is not the only one who recognizes the divide.
Tudor concluded saying that some Democrats see why they lost in 2024; however, others do not want to hear it.
"Randi Weingarten doesn't want to hear about it, David Hogg doesn't want to hear about it, and we may just see the party completely break apart," Dixon says.
