House Democrats held an election to appoint a new chair for the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC). Representatives Veronica Escobar, Debbie Dingell, and Lauren Underwood were the initial candidates. After the first round of voting, Debbie Dingell and Lauren Underwood advanced, with Veronica Escobar being eliminated. Debbie Dingell was ultimately elected as the new DPCC chair, as confirmed by a source in the room. Following her election, several Democratic representatives, including Lori Trahan and Jim McGovern, publicly congratulated Dingell, highlighting her anticipated role in combating disinformation and supporting the party's objectives.
