Despite being the DNC's top fundraiser which ordinarily would bestow the chairmanship on a candidate, Ellison was relegated to the back of bus as Deputy Chair, a position created especially for him.  He was given this role in February 2017 by a vote of the full Committee after losing the election for Chair to [[Thomas Perez]], who has been accused of vote rigging delegates for the nomination of Hillary Clinton in 2016.
