SOUTH BEND, Ind. - South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is holding a press conference Thursday afternoon to reveal he plans to run for the chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Mayor Buttigieg has been the mayor of South Bend since January 2012.

Buttigieg said in a video he would resign as mayor of South Bend if he is chosen as the DNC chair.

St. Joseph County Democrats said if Mayor Buttigieg resigns, the Democratic Party would hold a caucus to select a replacement.

“Democratic (Democrat) Party would hold a caucus to select a replacement”?
And here I thought the Mayor’s Office was an elected position, not an appointed position by a specific political party!

Dear Democrats- can you regain control of your party from Saudi and Soros $$$ ? If so, great! (If not, you’re welcome to join the millions of D’s who voted for president Trump. )

Is it a matter of law that the party in power’s county committee chooses a replacement for the mayor’s office?

I’m guessing that the office is declared vacant and they hold a special election - and the county party committees choose the nominees.
