David Hogg out at DNC, won't run again

DNC members voted Wednesday to vacate the elections of DNC vice chairs David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta.Why it matters: The vote was based on a technical complaint, but it comes as Democrats have expressed fury with Hogg for simultaneously serving as a top party official while supporting congressional primary candidates.Hogg announced in April that his group Leaders We Deserve would spend $20 million trying to oust Democratic incumbents in safely blue districts.The organization on Tuesday endorsed 37-year-old Virginia state Del. Irene Shin in the open primary for the late Rep. Gerry Connolly's seat.What happened: The Wednesday afternoon vote was decisive, with 75% of the 393 participating DNC members voting to vacate the election and 25% voting against doing so.Hogg and Kenyatta will now face off for a single vice chair position in an election that will span from Thursday to Saturday.A group of female DNC officials who previously ran for DNC vice chair roles — along with whoever loses between Hogg and Kenyatta — will be eligible to run for the remaining role from Sunday to next Tuesday.
