The Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted on Monday to
void David Hogg's previous election as vice chairman of the Democratic Party.
The decision comes after growing internal criticism of
Hogg's leadership, although party officials claimed the vote was taken in
response to a procedural challenge filed in February. The challenge alleged
that both Hogg and another official were improperly elected. The DNC is
expected to hold another vote later this year to determine whether Hogg will be
formally removed from office, Fox News reported.
“It is impossible to ignore the broader context of my work
to reform the party, which greatly influenced this vote,” Hogg said in a
statement after the vote, according to Politico. “The DNC is committed to
removing me, and this vote has provided an avenue to accelerate that effort.”
