A movement of a senior official of the Democratic Party to spend millions of dollars in their external political group to challenge some Democrats in the blue districts is further turning on the intrapartytic tensions that have been that they have shaken Pro-Vellin. Section.
Reverberations began instantly after the leaders we deserve, a political organization led by the recently elected vice president of the National Democratic Committee (DNC), David Hogg, announced Wednesday that you will spend younger democrats. The effort includes supporting the main challengers to house the Democrats in safe seats that Hogg argues “are asleep behind the wheel.”
The 25 -year -old Hogg movement, a survivor of the horrible shooting seven in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in southern Florida, to spend money against other Democrats is seen as an action annihilated by a DNC official.

“There are strong opinions on both sides,” said a DNC voting member Fox News Digital.
The voting member, who asked for anonymity to speak more, said that “behind the scene, people express their strong opinions to each other. There is certainly no consensus.”
The favorable qualifications of the Democratic Party fall to historical minimums
The president of DNC, Ken Martin, who along with Hogg and other party officials, were chosen for their positions in early February, praised Hogg in a statement, but also highlighted the long DNC position of remaining neutral in the primary.
“David Hogg is a passionate lawyer and we are grateful for his service to the Democratic Party, either in his role as Vice President of DNC or an external capacity,” Martin said in his statement.

But Martin added: “To ensure that we are effective as possible to choose the Democrats in charge, it is the position of long DNC that the primary voters, not the National Party, determine their candidates for the general elections.”
Hogg’s measure occurs when the base of the party is angry and very energized, when fighting the tones and controversial movements of Trump, since he returned to the White House three months ago, increasing the federal government and the national long -standing national policies. That anger is a directed not only to Trump and the Republicans, but also to the Democrats, many at the base of the party feel effective or vocal enough to withdraw against the president.

Energy has been evident in the municipalities this winter and early spring held by the Democratic and Republican members of Congress. And the progressive champion, Senator Bernie Sanders de Vermont and the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have attracted very large crowds to their manifestations of “Oligarchy of Lucha” throughout the country in the last six weeks.

Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and other politicians who lead the fight against the senator, including Trump’s senator, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, have seen an increase in their collection of funds in the last three months.
Another left leader who has been among the vowels in its resistance to the Trump administration, representative RO Khanna in California, emphasized in a Fox News digital interview that “we have to have a complete brand change of the Democratic Party with a coherent platform and a future -oriented platform, and many leaders need to do new leaders, not the old guard.”
Khanna, who was interviewed on Tuesday, before Hogg’s news, added that “we need Democrats to speak, not only in the economy. We need to talk about civil freedoms, about the rights of immigrants and about the rights of universities.”
Although the Democrats are increasingly energized to resist Trump, a series of national surveys earlier this year indicated the favorability qualifications of the Democratic Party that sank to the minimum of all time.
Hogg, in a series of publications on social networks, said one of those surveys while explaining his movement.
“The party has reached a low -duration approval index or 27%,” Hogg wrote in X.
And he argued that “too many elected leaders in the Democratic Party are not willing or cannot fulfill the moment and are the ax behind the wheel, while Trump is demolishing the economy, challenging the foundations of our democracy and creating new existential crises.”
Pointing to the Democrats to whom their group can point, Hogg said: “Through all this, some headlines will rise to the challenge and emerge stronger. Others will demonstrate why they will be replaced. We all win. Everyone wants the house to return.”
An agent of the Democratic Party who works in campaigns and who asked to remain in anonymity told Fox News Digital that “this is unusual, but we need some better democrats in office and that there has been an impulse for a new generation to reach the 80-viens that are not up to the fight.”

Chris Moyer, a strategist and democratic communicator who is veteran of presidential and state campaigns, said the time of Hogg movement.
“It’s about how you break, and the old ways of doing things have not worked. And this is a turning point,” Moyer said. “Therefore, it is understandable that it is a desire to bring some new blood in important roles and take the party in a more effective direction.”
But a DNC voter member who was granted anonymity to speak more freely than “because we are very close to winning the [House] Most, having that money spent collecting seats to win most is probably a better use of funds. “
