David Hogg Secures New Endorsements for DNC Vice Chair Position

David Hogg is making waves in the Democratic National Committee. The gun-control activist and Parkland shooting survivor is gunning for the vice chair position, and he’s racking up endorsements from some big names.

Kicking things off, Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate, threw his support behind Hogg earlier this month. Now, he’s got backing from Rep. Eric Swalwell of California and Randi Weingarten, head of the teacher’s union. It’s clear they’re all on board the Hogg train.

But let’s be real here. Men and various minorities have been fleeing the Democrat party like it’s on fire. So how does putting David Hogg in a leadership role help win them back? It’s a puzzler.

The New York Daily News certainly seems impressed with Hogg’s momentum:

Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg lands huge endorsements for DNC vice chair

Prominent Democrats, including former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and California Rep. Eric Swalwell, have come forward to support the 24-year-old, who quickly became an activist after the 2018 massacre at Florida’s Stoneman Douglas High School left 17 people dead.

“David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic and courageous leadership our party needs right now,” Walz wrote on social media earlier this month. “He has a unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party. I couldn’t be happier to support him for DNC vice chair.”

Meanwhile, conservatives are watching this play unfold with popcorn in hand—but not for reasons you might think.

The Democrats are at a crossroads right now. Electing David Hogg as vice chair might not scream “serious move,” but hey—it’s a free country! If that’s what they want to do, more power to them.
