Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It's the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair.

Now we’re going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.

I think we can expect a few things in the coming days. 1) Total route of the KOSPI. 2) General strike coming together much faster than anticipated. 3)Massive protests in central Seoul that will paralyze the city. But the question remains: when (not if) Yoon departs office, who will step in?
