Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday rejected a Democratic National Committee big’s controversial plan to fund primary challenges against passive party members in safe districts.
Jeffries of New York instead touted his intent to back all House Democratic incumbents across the country in the 2026 cycle and push the party to focus on knocking off Republicans.
“I look forward to standing behind every single Democratic incumbent, from the most progressive to the most centrist and all points in between,” Jeffries told ABC News’ “This Week” when asked about the opposing stance by Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David Hogg.
“They’re working hard in their communities, rising to the occasion,” Jeffries said of Dem incumbents.
Last week, Hogg, who has been serving as one of three DNC vice chairs since February, announced that his organization, “Leaders We Deserve,” will pump out $20 million to challenge low-key House Dem incumbents in favor of more combative contenders.

Hogg intends to refrain from meddling in contests in battleground district primaries so that Democrats can prioritize winning there.
His move has alienated many Democrats who feel it’s inappropriate for someone in his position to meddle in primaries.
Typically, leaders at the DNC and Republican National Committee are expected to remain neutral in primary contests rather than put their thumb on the scale.
But Hogg has argued that many Democrats “are asleep at the wheel” and are “not meeting the moment,” which is why he wants to intervene in primaries, something that DNC Chairman Ken Martin has not endorsed.

Hogg argued that Democrats need to elect stronger lawmakers to Congress.

Too good....two idiots in a death spiral.
Hakeem did let an interesting point slip, that we all already know though they say isnt right.
Hakeems statement shows you the ideological range dems span across.
The most progressive, to the most centrist.
Nothing further to the right, than centrist.
Their scale, he admits, is way far left, to moderate. Anything right of moderate, doesn’t exist.
Todays moderate are classical left of center people.
Just pointing out his admission he didnt know he was giving.
Hogg said he was a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting. When in fact he was not in school that day. He rode his bike to the school after the shooting and took video as if he’d been there... from the comments
Hogg is getting too big for his britches. But he has a very long way to go before his pencil neck is too big for his shirt collars.
The Democrats are angry that many of their voters were deported back to their homes in El Salvador, Venezuela, Mexico, and ..
The Dem party has gone so far left that the term ‘centrist’ has ceased to have any meaning at all. They purged their ranks of any conservatives and any fence straddlers long ago under Pelosi and now they will reap what they have sown..................
🔝🔝😄😃🤣😛🤪🤪😜
Two left wing quasi Marxist democrat progressives. Jeffries not insane politically and Hogg totally insane to political reality.
Start the music (I prefer Janis Joplin, Lead Zepplin, and The Doors. Light My Fire.
It is a beautiful thing when you watch your enemies douse themselves with petrol and light a match. I find it odd but am okay with it.
James Carville, in an interview, called Hogg a “twerp.”
More Democrat Civil War is good news
More is better.
“from the most progressive to the most centrist”
What media Hogg means is old to oldest. He is threatening to back young candidates. It is an idle threat. 1) Twenty million is a drop in the bucket. 2) Who is going to give it to him? 3) Hogg is a dope.
Ex Senators Sinema and Manchin were the closest ones they had to moderates. They refused to make the coup permanent by keeping the Filabuster alive. If not for them this country would be deep into tyranny and probably at Civil War. Of course they got run out of power.
Hogg is a dreamer. Where’s he going to get $20 million to finance his plan?
The fact that schoolboy tool Hogg, has 20M to throw around, is proof that democrats really are mentally ill.

Sounds like trouble in Paradise to me.
HOGG is born liar.
Supposedly he already got the $20 million somewhere.
