The Democratic National Committee is moving forward with a challenge to David Hogg’s election and that of another DNC vice chair just months after they attained their roles.
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.
- A losing candidate in the February vice chair race, Kalyn Free, has alleged that Hogg and Kenyatta were elected under a flawed tabulation process.
