DNC sets June vote over redoing election on David Hogg’s vice chair role

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told party leaders in a recent private conversation that he’s unsure about his ability to lead the party because of infighting created by Vice Chair David Hogg.

“I’ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job … the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,” he said in a May 15 Zoom meeting of DNC officers, according to a recording obtained by POLITICO.

In the recording, an emotional Martin describes being deeply frustrated by the fallout over Hogg, who has ignited a firestorm in the party by vowing to spend $20 million in safe-blue primaries to oust incumbent Democrats he believes are ineffective. Martin paused twice while appearing to choke up.

The intraparty feud, Martin said on the recording, is making it more difficult for the party to do its work — and had ruined his ability to demonstrate leadership.

“No one knows who the hell I am, right? I’m trying to get my sea legs underneath of me and actually develop any amount of credibility so I can go out there and raise the money and do the job I need to to put ourselves in a position to win,” Martin said, addressing Hogg. “And again, I don’t think you intended this, but you essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to. So it’s really frustrating.”

It was an extraordinary admission from the chair of the Democratic Party, just a few months after being elected to lead the party through its post-2024 crisis. The nearly two-minute clip does not include the entire conversation, including how Hogg and others may have responded to Martin.

What a freakin’ baby

He’s a repulsive snotty idiot. We all saw this kid’s SAT score. Go be a nonprofit scammer, he doesn’t deserve to be handed party power.

The other booted vice-chair will win by default with Hogg out.

Hogg’s fame is fake. He’s totally irrelevant.

Hogg is a lame attention whore, but we all know that's not why he was ousted. His mistake was taking the DNC seriously when it started making noises about change and letting the next generation lead. He got his head chopped off for not understanding that the rhetoric was just to fool the masses. His job was to sell the non-change by putting a young face on the grift and then collect checks as his reward for participating in the hypocrisy. I'm not sure how he completely misunderstood his job.

The Democratic party's power elite has no intention of changing anything from the party's utterly insincere, donor-dictated, losing "moral" causes to the gerontocracy at its helm to the party's refusal to allow primaries or anything resembling democracy in its machine. Primarying do-nothing lifers, publicly admitting Pelosi is a pathologically greedy, insider-trading succubus, disclosing that Jill Biden's chief of staff ran the white house and controlled Biden, calling out the DNC's useless functionaries -- all of this was the equivalent of suddenly flooding a dark basement corner with light, to the panic of the nocturnal creatures that have gotten comfortable there. As far as the Democratic elite is concerned, he tried to kill them. They won't let him rise again.

Some good points. But you’re really glossing over the fact that Hogg has accomplished jack shit in his life, is literally stupid, and is merely a shallow attention craving money-grabber. On what planet is this effeminate twerp in any way qualified to lead a disruptive coup on elders who’ve built up the party for 20 30 even 50+ years? It’s like a deluded private in the Army thinking he’s a general. Were they supposed to be nice and subservient to a stupid boy who showed up his first week of service with a guillotine for everyone?

So does this mean the democrats are not kicking out the old-timers? If that’s true it’s a damn shame.

Re-doing an election because you don’t like the results. This is becoming on-brand for the left.
