The Race to Be Trump’s Leading Foil in Congress Is ‘Wide Open’

With the election to become the Oversight Committee’s top Democrat less than three weeks away, lines of support are starting to emerge between four candidates — but the coveted job as one of the party’s top attack dogs remains up for grabs.

Mfume, Robert Garcia, Jasmine Crockett and Stephen Lynch have all announced their candidacy to lead Democrats on Oversight, after the panel’s former ranking member, Rep. Gerry Connolly, died last month.
