The three new DNC vice chairs will be:

Artie Blanco, longtime Nevada/Reid Machine Latino organizer.

Malcolm Kenyatta, 34. PA state rep and failed PA 2024 Auditor candidate. Openly gay.

David Hogg, 24, Parkland, FL survivor and gun control activist.

Kenyatta was also a US Senate candidate in 2022, losing the primary to John Fetterman (as did Conor Lamb as well).

I haven't been too impressed with Hogg over the last five years or so--he was starting to resemble a political one hit wonder struggling to stay relevant or effective. So good on him for earning a second wind.

Delighted to see that David Hogg won! That young Parkland Massacre survivor is going places, and he is already selflessly contributing so much. Here is a stellar interview that Simon Rosenberg did with David Hogg:

I turned off an interview he did on Pod Save America because I thought he was blaming Democrats too much and unhelpfully.

Well, this one is worth watching тАУ and that Hogg is to be lauded for the good, helpful ideas that he shares. Give it a chance. (ItтАЩs been a long time since I watched Pod Save America.)

Does he have a knack for reaching the young, low-info noncollege independents that we have so much trouble with? It seems to me that he (and probably Kenyatta) would appeal mostly to people who are already firmly inside the tent.

Yeah, they seem like picks meant to counter the "old and moderate" label rather than to help win elections.

But at least it's more geographic diversity
