US EditionDavid Hogg launches $20M effort to primary safe House Democrats
- David Hogg, Democratic National Committee vice chairman and 25-year-old activist, announced a $20 million campaign to challenge 20 safe House Democrats in the 2026 primaries through his group Leaders We Deserve.
- Hogg launched this effort in response to perceived seniority politics and a desire within the Democratic base for generational change and more aggressive opposition to President Trump.
- The organization Leaders We Deserve, led by DNC Vice Chairman David Hogg, aims to back emerging progressive challengers encountering significant obstacles in House races and plans to avoid confronting incumbents in competitive districts; meanwhile, notable Democrats such as Pelosi and Schakowsky are exempt from these primary challenges.
- Hogg emphasized the importance of having committed individuals of all ages ready to take action and cautioned that a media campaign intended to tarnish his reputation and undermine his push for a stronger Democratic Party is likely underway.
- This campaign highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party between established leaders and emerging progressives, signaling potential shifts in party leadership and strategy ahead of the 2026 election.
