Randi Weingarten, president of the 1.7-million-member American Federation of Teachers, has stepped down from her post on the Democratic National Committee. The resignation, disclosed on 15 June, ends a 23-year tenure that began in 2002. People familiar with the decision said Weingarten’s departure followed a dispute with DNC Chair Ken Martin. Neither the union leader nor the committee immediately released detailed statements explaining the disagreement. Weingarten has been one of organized labor’s highest-profile figures in Democratic politics, frequently advising party leaders on education and workplace issues. Her exit could complicate the DNC’s relations with teachers and other public-sector unions as the party prepares for the 2026 midterm elections.
