On the eve of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced she would resign at the end of the convention.

In a statement laying out the goals of this election cycle she wrote:

"The best way for me to accomplish those goals is to step down as Party Chair at the end of this convention," she said. "As Party Chair, this week I will open and close the Convention and I will address our delegates about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans."
