I previously predicted that David Hogg's days as DNC Vice Chair were numbered. And it looks like Ive already been proven right. According to a new report, the Democratic establishment is scrambling to contain this loose-cannon, know-it-all kid who wants to spend $20 million on an intraparty civil war. A week after Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg unveiled a controversial plan to back primary challenges to longtime party incumbents, anger at the activist-turned-Democratic leader is only intensifying among party officials, reports NOTUS. These Democratic critics say their fury at Hogg has grown amid what they see as his ill- conceived and insufficient efforts to make amends for his planned primary campaign a campaign that, they say, threatens the DNCs neutrality and its capacity to fight back against President Donald Trump. At a DNC retreat last month, officers including Hogg finalized updates to the partys neutrality pledge and other reforms. While Hogg actively participated in the discussions, a senior DNC official noted he stayed silent when the neutrality agreement came up. Just three weeks later, Hogg announced plans to challenge primary candidates, fueling internal backlash. Although party leaders say the neutrality changes were in motion before Hoggs announcement, they could help address growing frustration with him. According to the article, some Democrats are reportedly floating the idea of forcing Hogg to choose between continuing his campaign or stepping down as DNC vice chair, with suggestions that the party may even consider changing its rules to make that happen. The tension is expected to spill over during a regularly scheduled Thursday call for DNC members a meeting that, some Democratic officials suggest, might turn into a forum for airing grievances about Hoggs anti- incumbent pledge. During that call, the DNCs chair, Ken Martin, is also expected to unveil a multipoint agenda that would include a proposal mandating all DNC officers stay neutral in all primaries, according to a senior DNC official. The proposal would expand on the current neutrality pledge, which now only includes the presidential race. If adopted, the proposal would effectively force Hogg to choose between staying in his role at the DNC and backing primary challenges against incumbent Democratic lawmakers. The real question isn't whether Hogg will survive this political firestorm; I dont think he will. Hell likely leave under the pretense that he can be more effective from the outside. The question is how much damage he'll do to the Democratic Party before he's shown the door. But then again, maybe that's exactly what the Democrats deserve for voting for an inexperienced activist for a position of leadership. Some Democrats clearly want David Hogg out. Youve got to ask yourself, Can we trust him? Clay Middleton, a DNC committee member, told NOTUS. Middleton, questioning Hoggs silence on the neutrality pledge, wondered, Are they sharing that information with people to go against an incumbent Democrat? Jay Jacobs, chair of New Yorks Democratic Party, called Hoggs actions a conflict of interest, saying, You cannot at the same time be a vice chair and be part of an effort to unseat those very same Democratic elected officials. Privately, the frustration is boiling over. Weve got a lot of fing problems right now, said one senior Democrat, calling Hoggs move a middle finger to those who rebuilt trust after 2016. I dont think hes yet realized how few supporters he has and how painful its going to be for him.

The only real question is whether he walks out on his own or gets shoved out the door. Either way, this trainwreck was inevitable. Conservatives warned from the start that elevating Hogg to party leadership was a mistake, and now the Democrats are reaping what they sowed. Whether hes forced out or leaves on his own terms, hell be emboldened to go after any incumbent he deems unworthy, plunging the party into a messy, costly civil war it cant afford. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/04/24/is-david-hoggs-implosion-at- the-dnc-is-totally-happening-n4939188
