Gabbard said in an email sent to supporters Sunday that the “trust” voters deserve under Perez’s leadership “has been broken.”
Thats why today Im asking that you join me in demanding that Tom Perez accept responsibility for this gross failure in leadership and resign now, Gabbard wrote, linking to a petition calling for the party chairs resignation.
Under the leadership of Tom Perez, the DNC has kowtowed to billionaires, caused a debacle in Iowa, and undermined the voters trust in our elections, she added.
Gabbards campaign prioritized its efforts in New Hampshire, opting to skip placing a focus in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucus. She still faces an uphill battle in New Hampshire, registering at 2.7 percent support in New Hampshire polls, according to a RealPoliticsAverage.
The Iowa Democratic Party blamed its delay in results on an app the party was using.
