The efforts of the militant of firearms David Hogg to help to reorganize the Democratic Party have started difficult so far and some democratic colleagues notice, reported the Washington Post on Friday.

HOGG was notably ousted from his post as vice-president of the National Democratic Committee (DNC) in June. His evidence occurred after having aroused intense criticism from Democratic colleagues for having unveiled a plan in April for the leaders that we deserve to spend $ 20 million for older Democrats “out of contact” in 2026.

However, Hogg insisted that the objective of his group was “not to simply throw money to the candidates and hope they earn”.

The 25 -year -old also told the point of sale that the leaders we deserve worked with dozens of 2026 Democratic candidates “launching their campaigns very soon”.
