WATCH: David Hogg Confirms He Is Considering Bid For DNC Chair

David Hogg, who launched a political and media career after his classmates were murdered in the Parkland High School shooting in 2018, is now considering a bid for chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

“I’m considering it because I think that one, obviously, I think we need a new generation in the DNC. If this election has taught us nothing else, I think we need an intergenerational coalition as a party,” Hogg said during an appearance on CNN Thursday, confirming reports that he was eyeing a run for the position.

“But I’ve spent the past two years or so traveling around the country, working to elect young people, and talking to everyday people, knocking on doors in every swing state that you can imagine, and some very red states as well, from starting out in Alabama to places like Texas and Virginia and everywhere in between. And the thing that I’ve realized more than anything is that we have a number of problems in the party, but I think the main one overall is that we would rather live in a comfortable delusion than an uncomfortable reality. And I think what the party needs to do is open its eyes and take its fingers out of its ears, basically.”

Hogg and a handful of his classmates became the faces of national gun control efforts in the wake of the shooting. The students spoke at the March for Our Lives rally in Washington D.C. and told Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) that it is hard to look at him and not see him “shooting my classmates.”

Hogg, who styled himself as an “entrepreneur” in the weeks following the shooting, went on to attend Harvard University and has become a regular on left-leaning television networks and speaking events.

When asked for specifics on the “delusion” gripping the Democratic Party, Hogg insinuated that too many left-wing pundits, activists and lawmakers are locked in a bubble.

“I think it’s that we can just surround ourselves with people that agree with us a lot of the time in terms of the party leadership and also within the party itself and think that’s just who we need to be talking to constantly, instead of listening to people who don’t agree with us. Not that we inherently agree with them, but I think so much the issue that we have as a party right now is a fund a kind of condescending tone that we have in a number of ways where we’re seen increasingly as elitist, as out of touch,” he said. “And I think there are real conversations that we need to have. And we also need to help more, not just young people, but people from normal backgrounds run for office.”

Hogg, who publicly urged Vice President Kamala Harris to select Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, pointed to the governor as a prime example of the type of candidates the party should be recruiting.

“I think Tim Walz is actually a great example of this, of running as a teacher and gaining all the experience that he had to out massively outperform even in a Trump-held district. Right? We need everyday people from teachers to doctors to everybody in between to start running for office and help changing the future of this party and the face of this party as well.”
