Obama to speak with DNC members on Monday call

President Obama plans to host a conference call Monday afternoon with members of the Democratic National Committee, which is grappling with a crushing election defeat and growing tension between party leaders.

Obama, who will depart Monday for his final international trip as president, is likely to discuss the upcoming race to replace DNC interim chair Donna Brazile and changes the party will need to make as it looks ahead to Trump’s presidency and the 2018 midterm elections. The call was first reported by Politico.
