“David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic and courageous leadership our party needs right now,” Walz declared in a social media post. “He has a unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party. I couldn’t be happier to support him for DNC vice chair.”
Hogg’s growing list of endorsements suggests that the Democratic establishment sees him as a key figure in the party’s future. But the move raises questions: Will his activism appeal to the broader electorate, or will it push even more voters toward the GOP?
Swalwell and Weingarten Back Hogg
Swalwell, who is best known for his aggressive anti-gun stance and controversy-laden political career, has also thrown his weight behind Hogg. The California congressman has been a vocal proponent of strict gun control measures, making his alliance with Hogg unsurprising.
Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), also endorsed Hogg, signaling that major Democratic institutions are backing his bid. Weingarten has been widely criticized for her role in prolonged school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, which hurt students and infuriated parents across the country. Her endorsement of Hogg may reinforce concerns that Democratic leadership is out of touch with working-class families.
Conservatives Cheer Hogg’s Rise—for the Wrong Reasons
While Democrats celebrate Hogg’s candidacy, many conservatives are actually rooting for his victory—but not because they support his policies.
Electing Hogg as vice chair of the DNC, they argue, would be another sign that Democrats are moving further left, embracing radical activism over practical governance. With polling showing key demographics fleeing the Democratic Party, conservatives see Hogg’s rise as another misstep that could benefit Republicans in 2024 and beyond.
Democrats are already facing a steep uphill battle in retaining working-class voters, suburban parents, and minorities who feel left behind by the party’s priorities. Hogg’s focus on gun control and progressive activism does little to address economic concerns, inflation, crime, or border security—the very issues that have driven voters to reconsider their political loyalties.

A Serious Position or a Symbolic Gesture?
The vice chair position at the DNC isn’t just a ceremonial role—it helps shape party messaging, fundraising, and outreach efforts. If Hogg secures the seat, he’ll have influence over the direction the Democratic Party takes heading into the crucial 2024 elections.
Yet, the move to back Hogg raises the question: Is the Democratic leadership making a strategic decision, or is this just another example of the party catering to the progressive wing at the expense of broader voter appeal?
For conservatives, the answer seems clear. They’re more than happy to watch the Democratic Party embrace a strategy that could push more Americans toward the GOP. As Democrats bet on Hogg, Republicans see another opportunity to capitalize on their opponents’ missteps.
