Buzzfeed is reporting that Jennifer Granholm will soon be named co-chair of the super PAC Priorities USA, which will be one of the top supporters of a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
Here’s a portion of what they’re reporting:
“Jim Messina, former campaign manager to
President Obama, will soon have company at the helm of Priorities USA
Action, the big-money super PAC set to support Hillary Clinton should
she run for president in 2016.
“Jennifer Granholm, the former
two-term governor of Michigan and one of the Democratic Party’s most
spirited principals, is well into talks to join Messina as co-chair of
the group’s board of directors, BuzzFeed has learned.
Three
sources with direct knowledge of the plans said Granholm was tapped for
the role after the group’s original pick, longtime Bill Clinton adviser
John Podesta, fell through. Podesta, originally in line to be co-chair
beside Messina, agreed late last year to join the White House senior
staff as a special adviser.”
