David Hogg, a prominent Gen Z activist and vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, has launched a $20 million initiative through his group, Leaders We Deserve.
The campaign aims to support younger, progressive candidates in primary races against incumbent House Democrats in safe districts. Hogg's goal is to bring generational change and fresh perspectives to the Democratic Party by challenging its older, more established members. The move signals growing tensions within the party between its progressive and establishment wings.
This effort could reshape the Democratic landscape ahead of future elections.
