DNC Moves to OUST David Hogg as Vice Chair


It appears that David Hogg is now being forced out as DNC Vice Chair!

A few months ago, David Hogg was elected as DNC Vice Chair with zero experience. This backfired spectacularly, as he immediately started threatening to primary several Democrat incumbents.

Now, after a late-night vote, a DNC committee has approved a resolution to challenge the election of David Hogg. The vote now moves to the full DNC.

Take a look:

David Hogg isn’t taking it well.

He released this statement in response:

NBC News reported:

A Democratic National Committee subcommittee on Monday recommended that the organization invalidate one of its February vice-chair votes over claims that it unfairly disadvantaged female candidates.

The move, which won’t be official unless the entire DNC votes to approve it, could open up new races for the positions held by David Hogg, a Florida activist, and Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state legislator.

The challenge by Oklahoma Democratic Committeewoman Kalyn Free, who unsuccessfully ran against Hogg and Kenyatta in the February race for vice chair, is not related to the ongoing tension between Hogg and the national party over his push to support primary challenges against incumbent Democrats.

Instead, it was based off Free’s claim that the handling of the vice-chair vote gave the two men an unfair advantage amid the national party’s requirements that its executive committee achieve gender balance.

Nevertheless, the Monday evening vote by the DNC Credentials Committee sets up a high-profile decision for the national party in the coming weeks as it will now be up to the full body to vote on whether to call for a new election for the vice-chair positions held by Hogg and Kenyatta.

This is all happening as DNC Chairman Ken Martin has been separately pushing a reform that would “require all party officers — including myself — to remain neutral in primaries” as Hogg has been signaling he’s planning to take sides.

Axios has more details:

Why it matters: The challenge centers on a procedural squabble, but Hogg, 25, is alleging it is connected to his plans to spend $20 million trying to oust older Democratic members of Congress in primaries.

  • “It is … impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to help reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement.
  • Driving the news: The DNC’s credentials committee voted 13 to 2, with 3 abstentions, to void the February elections of Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta as vice chairs.

  • The resolution will now go to a full vote of DNC members. If it passes, the election for the two vice chair roles will be re-administered.
  • What’s your view on that?
