The Democratic National Committee will hold a vote in June to determine whether to hold a redo election over a procedural complaint for the two vice chair positions held by David Hogg and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.
The vote, which will be held from June 9-11, comes as DNC leadership has been seeking to oust Hogg, who has clashed with party leadership over his plans to back challengers to Democratic incumbent candidates.
In February, a complaint was filed accusing the DNC of failing to meet its gender equity rules when Hogg and Kenyatta were elected for their positions.
Hogg has voiced his objection to the redo election.
“If we’re to redo this election, it truly just sends a horrible message that we really do not want out there at this moment,” Hogg said. “That’s why I believe that it should not go forward.”
Meanwhile, Kenyatta has complained on X that Hogg is making this redo election about him.

“This story is complex and I’m frustrated — but it’s not about [Hogg]. Even though he clearly wants it to be,” Kenyatta posted.
If the vote passes, the election for a new male vice chairman will be held from June 12-14, and the vote for a second vice chair of any gender will be held from June 15-17.
