Panel Votes to Void David Hogg’s Election as DNC Vice Chair [WATCH]

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted Monday to void its election of David Hogg as Vice Chair At-Large, citing procedural concerns raised earlier this year, as reported by Fox News.

While Democratic officials deny that the vote was politically motivated, Hogg and his supporters believe broader internal conflicts within the party played a role.

The decision followed a challenge filed in February, which alleged that Hogg and another official were elected improperly during the committee’s officer elections.

The DNC plans to hold a separate vote later this year to determine whether Hogg will be removed from the position permanently.

“Today, the DNC took its first steps to remove me from my position as Vice Chair At-Large,” Hogg said in a public statement after the vote.

“While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote. I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us.”

The vote also voided the election of Pennsylvania State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta, who served alongside Hogg in the same leadership role.

Christine Pelosi, a member of the DNC’s credentials committee and daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, stated the vote was strictly about the process.

“First, I want to say clearly and explicitly that this decision has nothing to do with the service of any DNC officer, especially [Hogg] or [Kenyatta]. This is about a violation of parliamentary procedure that was raised in a challenge filed back in February.”

Pelosi also encouraged both Hogg and Kenyatta to run again, saying, “We’ll move fast to get this resolved. I have total faith in our DNC members to review this issue and vote their conscience.”

The procedural dispute coincides with rising tensions between younger progressives and longtime Democratic Party strategists.

Hogg also recently announced plans to spend $20 million in Democratic primaries to challenge entrenched incumbents in safe blue districts, a move that drew criticism from veteran strategist James Carville.

Carville called Hogg’s strategy “abominable” and described it as “jacka**ery of the highest level,” urging him to focus on defeating Republicans instead of targeting fellow Democrats. Hogg defended his position, arguing the party should be capable of both.

“It’s not to win an election in Queens which you don’t ever run against a Republican,” Hogg said. “It’s to help Democrats win elections.”

Despite their earlier public clash, Carville later acknowledged Hogg’s influence, posting on X that the DNC “needs him” because he “fights” for the party.
