David Hogg: More than a dozen Democratic incumbents could be primaried [View all]

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg said his organization “Leaders We Deserve” will focus on challenging more than a dozen Democratic incumbents in the next election cycle.

He said the group will focus on mobilizing a younger generation of leaders geared towards change amid new policies implemented under the Trump administration. They’ve slated $20 million for the initiative.

“Currently, we’re looking at over 12 districts, but there’s a lot of nuance that comes with that number, because there’s going to be people who retire,” Hogg told NewsNation.

The organization will target Democrats in safe districts and will not aim to primary those in toss up races.
