WASHINGTON (AP) - Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine is set to become the next chairman of the Democratic Party.
Two Democratic officials said today that President-elect Barack Obama has chosen the governor to take over the Democratic National Committee.
The officials spoke to The Associated Press on a condition of anonymity because the decision had not yet been officially announced.
Kaine plans to work at the party part-time until 2010, when his term as governor is up and he can take over the DNC full-time.
Current DNC chairman Howard Dean plans to step down Jan. 21, the day after Obama’s inauguration.
