David Hogg’s time in the political limelight has mostly revolved around nothing more than his having been a student at Parkland and him parroting the media’s preferred line about firearms.
He’s not done anything else of note, but they still adore him for just those reasons. Hell, it’s the only reason he got into Harvard and everyone knows it since he’d already been rejected by state schools.
Hogg’s PAC tried to get a number of new Democrats elected to Congress, with pretty much no success. Exactly one candidate won in anything remotely like a contested race and they didn’t even talk about gun control, which is the issue Hogg is best known for.
Now, he’s considering taking that keen political insight and making a run for DNC vice chairman.
So far there are two officially announced candidates for party chair: Social Security Administrator and former Maryland Gov. MARTIN O’MALLEY and Minnesota DFL Chair KEN MARTIN. Others are potentially waiting in the wings: Ambassador to Japan RAHM EMANUEL, Wisconsin Dems Chair BEN WIKLER, strategist CHUCK ROCHA and former Rep. MAX ROSE, to name a few.
Here’s one more rising young Democrat whom Playbook has learned is considering a run: Michigan state Sen. MALLORY McMORROW, who went viral two years ago after responding to a Republican who accused her of being a “groomer” in a fundraising email and had a prime time role at this year’s Democratic convention.
“If enough people ask, I’m leaving myself open to all kinds of opportunities,” she told Playbook.
We’ve also learned DAVID HOGG, the Gen-Z gun rights activist who now runs a PAC that recruits young people to run for office, is a potential candidate for vice chair; he told us he is “seriously considering” a run. (Longtime DNC member JAMES ZOGBY is already in that race, Holly Otterbein reports.)
That’s just too glorious not to hope for.
