“In my opinion, we don’t need white people leading the Democratic Party right now,” Symone Sanders told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) has launched a bid for the head of the DNC, while Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) is challenging House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her leadership position. 

Former Gov. Howard Dean, (D-Vt.), who previously chaired the DNC from 2005 to 2009, said he will also run for the chairman’s spot.

But Symone Sanders said Dean “is not what we need right now,” citing Dean’s comments about Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary.

Dean said in June that Bernie Sanders could cost Democrats the election.
