Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison picked up a semi-endorsement from an expected — and potentially unwelcome — source Wednesday morning in his bid to become the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee: Donald Trump.

With DNC members set to vote on a new leader in just three days, the Republican president, apparently while watching morning cable news talk shows, felt the need to weigh in. He did so in a tweet pointing out that Ellison predicted Trump would become the 45th chief executive.

In fact, Trump seemed to suggest the Minnesota Democrat is something of a political soothsayer, tweeting that “he was the one who predicted early that I would win!”

Trump’s tweet came shortly after former DNC Chairman Howard Dean endorsed an Ellison opponent, Pete Buttigieg, the 35-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
