Description | With political pundits predicting that Democrats will recapture the House this fall, Democratic lawmakers are debating who would become the majority whip: Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), moving up one step from caucus chairman, or Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the campaign wizard who would have orchestrated the victory.
Although only Clyburn has declared his interest in the position, the escalating rivalry between the two was on display this week when news broke that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) would funnel $60,000 into each of 40 House districts, breaking a stalemate between the DNC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
