Baltimore Mayor Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake will gavel in the Democratic National Convention here on Monday -- taking over for the Democratic Party chairwoman who relinquished the role amid a scandal over internal party emails.

Rawlings-Blake has served as the secretary of the national Democratic Party since 2013.

Party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman who had already announced she would resign from the party after the convention, said Monday that she also would not preside over the convention's opening ceremonies.

The email controversy, in which the website WikiLeaks has published thousands of internal emails, has threatened the unified message Democrats are hoping to portray as they nominate Hillary Clinton.

Maybe she'll give the Democrats "room to riot."

Maybe she'll give the Democrats "room to riot."

Should she really be trusted with large blunt instruments???

If the GOP had a real nominee, this would have been a cakewalk year.
