Overview

• David Hogg, the 25-year-old DNC vice chair, is leading a $20 million effort through his group, Leaders We Deserve, to primary older Democratic incumbents in safe blue districts.
• Hogg argues the Democratic Party's 27% approval rating reflects a crisis of leadership and accuses established strategists of failing to present solutions.
• Longtime Democratic figures, including James Carville, have sharply criticized Hogg’s strategy, calling it divisive and counterproductive to party unity.
• In response to backlash, Leaders We Deserve donated $100,000 to the Congressional Campaign Committee, emphasizing their commitment to winning back the House majority.
• Hogg has called for a more aggressive Democratic message, rejecting what he describes as 'timid' politics and advocating for younger, more diverse representation in Congress.
