118. The dnc has to take care of this but my guess is they won't

So I can guess a significant portion are ok with it. Not fun watching your party self destruct. All we can do is support the candidates he may try to primary and hope the damage done is minimal.

2 big names in the party endorsed him, without a proven track record, and then dnc members voted him in. I can't find a tally of the votes for the vice chairs.Then they allowed him not to sign the neutrality agreement.

I was looking at who was elected for 2025 and it seems unbalanced also, almost all men in the chair and vice chair positions. They also have high salaries, the chair, I'm not sure about the vice chairs. Most seem to be from 2-3 areas of the country, I would have to research more to completely confirm this. Some had long term careers in similar d party positions in their own states.
