(2025-06-11) David Hogg To Exit Democratic National Committee After Months Of Turmoil

David Hogg to exit Democratic National Committee after months of turmoil. David Hogg, the young vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee whose vow to unseat “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats roiled his party, said on Wednesday that he would step away from the high-ranking role in a move that ends months of internal infighting.

Moments before Hogg announced his decision, members of the committee had voted to hold new vice-chair elections that could have led to his ouster.

In April, DNC chair Ken Martin endorsed a proposal that would have forced Hogg to choose between his vice-chair position and his push to bring generational change to the party

Hogg’s withdrawal means that Pennsylvania state lawmaker Malcolm Kenyatta is the only candidate eligible for the male vice-chair role. A second vote will be held later this week for the second vice-chair position, which can be a candidate of any gender.

Kenyatta, who has been sharply critical of Hogg and the attention focused on him, said in a statement that he was “grateful” to his supporters and eager to move forward.

David Hogg won’t run again after DNC votes to redo vice chair elections.

Separately, the DNC is also weighing a new proposal put forth by Martin that would officially require elected party leaders to stay neutral in primaries. The DNC is expected to vote on that measure at an August session.
