The Democratic Party is imploding.
During a video call this week, Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin issued a warning to Vice Chair David Hogg: stay out of the Democratic primaries or step down from the DNC.
Hogg has said House Democrats are “asleep at the wheel.”
“No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger,” Martin said during a conference call with reporters on Thursday.
“I have great respect for David Hogg. I think he’s an amazing young leader who’s done so much already to help move our movement forward,” Martin said.
But the DNC chair added that while he understands what Hogg is trying to do, “I’ve said to him, if you want to challenge incumbents, you’re more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters. We can’t be both the referee and also the player at the same time.”
“It’s important for us to maintain the trust that we have built with Democratic voters and to keep our thumb off the scale as party officers,” Martin added.
Jane Kleeb, the president of the Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC) who joined Martin on the call, noted, “I, too, have a deep relationship with David. I was just talking with him this morning. We hope that he realizes that he got elected to be an officer of the DNC, which means that we remain neutral.”
