The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is reassessing David Hogg’s position as vice chair due to concerns over compliance with gender parity rules.
Hogg’s days are numbered in his leadership role at the DNC as the “walls close in,” the Daily Caller reported.
The controversy emerges as the DNC prepares to review a procedural claim suggesting Hogg’s election violated the requirement for gender balance.
25-year-old Hogg was elected as a vice chair of the DNC alongside Malcolm Kenyatta in February.
This election has come under scrutiny due to an alleged infraction against a rule intended to ensure gender balance among top positions.
The rule mandates the vice chairs to be “as equally divided as practicable” by gender.
A turmoil started brewing when Kalyn Free, a rival candidate, contended that the combined ballot format facilitated the election of two male candidates, effectively disadvantaging female competitors.
The Credentials Committee of the DNC backed this grievance.
It comes as top Democrats have been increasingly calling for Hogg’s removal from the role.
The upheaval surrounding Hogg’s election is exacerbated by his vocal commitment to challenging current party incumbents.
He recently hinted at supporting primary contenders through a new political action committee, intensifying tensions.
