After a rousing win for the Democratic party in two key gubernatorial races for New Jersey and Virginia, Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez is crediting his party's candidates wins to them being "sane."

"People are so sick of these Twitter tirades. They want leaders they can be proud of. And that's why people like Phil Murphy and Ralph Northam were able to win – because they're sane," said Perez on an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday morning.

He added that Murphy and Northam are "people who are speaking to the issues that people care about. They actually care about facts. They actually care about making sure people have a good job and a good opportunity. They're not playing the politics of division."

Perez also spoke to the Democrats' strategy for this off-year election, saying, "The formula for every one of these races was organize, organize, organize, get good candidates and lead with your values."
