David Hogg To Depart As DNC Vice Chair After Months Of Turmoil

David Hogg will step down from his role as Democratic National Committee vice chair, capping months of party infighting and turmoil centering on the Gen Z activist’s pledge to involve himself in primaries and back challengers against some incumbents.

Hogg has decided not to run to retain his position after the conclusion Wednesday of a DNC-wide vote that could have led to his forced ouster. Last month a DNC panel found that Hogg and Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta were not properly elected earlier this year because their election ran afoul of gender-diversity rules.

“It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair — and it’s okay to have disagreements. What isn’t okay is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on,” Hogg said in a statement Wednesday night. “I have decided to not run in this upcoming election so the party can focus on what really matters.”

In a 294-99 vote that concluded Wednesday, DNC members agreed to move forward with redoing the contest earlier this year that elected Hogg and another Democrat, Malcolm Kenyatta, as vice chairs. The DNC will now vote from Thursday through Saturday — and then Sunday through Tuesday — to fill the two slots.
