Yup. And though this may be a surprise to Republicans, the Democratic party began moving on as soon as the election was over. Hillary's defeat in 2016 was the last shot she will ever have. Huma, as her assistant, was out as soon as Hillary was, along with Debbie Wasserman Shultz and the entire board of the DNC.
There's a new chairman and a new DNC board, and the DNC has become a lot like the RNC- it's former power as a money raiser doesn't make up for the massively failed strategy of the Clinton campaign. Like Romney in 2012, all the money in the world didn't make up for a fail.
It remains to be seen as to who will emerge, but a new face will, with no doubt, in time. Meanwhile, the new DNC is re-inventing itself to work from the bottom up instead of the top down. The bigger job at hand is now very clear; the party has to start winning state and local elections again.
In a way, Trump's win was a blessing in disguise. If another candidate had won the nomination, the Democrat's job would be a lot harder.
