There are multiple reports that Leaders We Deserve, led by Parkman school shooting survivor and DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, is planning to primary incumbent Dems, in contravention of party policy and a neutrality pledge taken by every other member of the DNC:
"The first most important thing here is to understand it isn't necessarily just out with the old and in with the new. I would say it's out with the ineffective and in with the effective. That is what we are doing here," Hogg, 25, told ABC News' Jay O'Brien Wednesday afternoon. "Any person that has eyes can see that we are 27% approval with our base and we need dramatic change." The move puts Hogg, a member of party leadership as one of its vice chairs, at odds with the party establishment and other Democratic leaders, who usually shy away from supporting challengers to Democratic incumbents.
This move comes despite longstanding DNC policy that members remain neutral in primaries.
I am not a party leader, or even a precinct captain, but this cannot end well for anyone involved.
