A Democratic National Committee vote next week could be the first step to removing its vice chairman, David Hogg, who has sparked a generational divide within the Democratic Party.
Hogg, 25, surprised colleagues when he launched an effort to fund primary challenges to incumbent Democrats, arguing the party needs fresh leaders to win back voters. The DNC and its chairman, Ken Martin, denounced the plan, claiming that working against sitting Democratic lawmakers runs counter to the party’s mission of pushing back against President Donald Trump.
DNC members will have their say next week by casting an electronic vote from Monday to Wednesday to decide whether to void the February elections of Hogg and another vice chairman on technical grounds. If so, Hogg would have to run again for the leadership position that Martin argues should require neutrality in primary races.
“The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort,” Hogg told the New York Times.
As Hogg calls for a political shake-up, many congressional Democrats and party leaders have pushed for unity.
The Washington Examiner spoke with many Democratic members of Congress, who all said they did not know enough to speak on the vote being held next week. However, each expressed their support for incumbent Democrats as the best shot to flip the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
