US EditionDavid Hogg: More than a dozen Democratic incumbents could be primaried
- David Hogg, the 25-year-old DNC Vice Chair and gun control activist, is leading efforts to primary more than a dozen Democratic incumbents in upcoming U.S. Congressional elections as of April 2025.
- Hogg's push stems from his goal to replace ineffective Democrats with leaders who reflect younger generations, a strategy that clashes with calls for DNC neutrality amid concerns about party unity.
- Hogg's group, Leaders We Deserve, launched a multimillion-dollar campaign in mid-April to fund primary challenges, aiming to support candidates based on effectiveness rather than age or seniority.
- DNC Chair Ken Martin disagrees with Hogg's strategy, stressing that party officials should remain impartial during primary contests; meanwhile, Hogg maintains that the choice of nominees should be determined by voters rather than DNC leadership.
- This internal conflict highlights tensions between party elders and reformers, with implications for Democratic cohesion and responsiveness as they face electoral challenges and calls for significant change.
