Stepping
Down

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., speaks during a news conference, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. On Sunday, July 24, 2016, Wasserman Schultz an-
nounced she would step down as DNC chairwoman at the end of the party’s convention. Her resignation follows the leak of some 19,000 emails, presumably stolen
by hackers and posted to the website Wikileaks that suggest the DNC favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders.
