DNC members agree to redo David Hogg, Malcolm Kenyatta vice chair elections

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Wednesday voted to redo the two elections of vice chairs David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta, removing the two men from their roles, over a procedural complaint on the way the election was done.

Although the vote is based on the validity of the procedural complaint, Hogg has viewed the redo as a way to get rid of him after he made waves in the Democratic Party for launching a $20 million effort in April that supports more than a dozen primary challenges against Democratic members of Congress he accused of being asleep at the wheel.

The vote to redo the elections was split 294-99, according to The Hill. The results vacate the two positions, Politico reported.

The committee will now hold a new election for the new male vice chair from June 12-14, followed by a vote for a second vice chair of any gender from June 15-17. Hogg and Kenyatta are still allowed to run in the elections.

The new elections come as the Democratic Party struggles to find its footing after the 2024 election. The presidential election, which saw former Vice President Kamala Harris lose to President Donald Trump, resulted in a major blow to the party's power, and it has since struggled to unify behind a leader.

Hogg previously warned the DNC against redoing the election out of concern that it would send a "horrible message" about whether the party was capable of holding an election as they prepare for the 2026 Midterms.
