As she makes her first appearance on the network, on The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino, let’s learn more about her:
1. She was the interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee twice. Brazile served as the interim chair of the DNC for several weeks in 2011. As vice-chair of the DNC, she was brought in during the transition between outgoing chair Tim Kaine, who resigned to run for Senate, and his successor, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She was again made interim chair at the start of the 2016 Democratic National Convention after Schultz resigned amid controversy that the committee favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders.
