\"Obma-era-Veteran\"International Desk: Republicans claimed that Perez's victory is an indication of just how much the Democrats have lost touch with the American people.<\/p>\n

After the vote, Trump offered what appeared to be a tongue-in-cheek congratulations to Perez.<\/p>\n

“I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!” the president wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement that “by selecting a DC insider, Democrats only create deeper divisions within their own party by pushing a far left agenda that rejects a majority of their base outside Washington.”<\/p>\n

During a debate with several DNC candidates late Wednesday, Perez said Democrats needed to “get back to basics” by making house calls in all 50 states and establishing a year-round organizing presence to remind American workers that the Democratic Party represents their values and interests.<\/p>\n

“When we lead with our message, our message of economic opportunity, that's how we win,” he said.<\/p>\n

Perez also warned that Democrats must reform their party's presidential primary system, which he said has created “a crisis of confidence” because of its lack of transparency.<\/p>\n

He and other candidates, well aware that Democrats lost ground to Republicans in state house and governor races, stressed the need to seed the party with new, young talent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
