Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will step down as controversy rages over her tenure just as the party is set to nominate Hillary Clinton under a banner of unity.

Wasserman Schultz issued a statement on Sunday saying that the best way to go forward was for her to resign at the end of this week’s convention. The proceedings will be gaveled to order on Monday.

Her role had been reduced over the weekend with pressure mounting for Democrats to take decisive action in response to an uproar over purported DNC efforts to discredit Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign.

She was due to leave the job next year.
