The DNC subcommitte

The Subcommittee of Credentials of the National Democratic Committee has recommended that the party must hold the vice president elections again on the complaints that there were problems with how the vote was carried out, a movement that places its vice presidents David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta in danger of losing their positions.

The recommendation, made after the vote of the committee on Monday, occurs after the races of the officers of the entire party in February. The deliberations of the subcommittee were based on a challenge presented by the candidate vice president Kalyn Free about how the elections were held.

Free’s lawyer argued that the way in which part of the vote was made allowed Hogg and Kenyatta to unfairly receive more votes than Free, who also looked for a role of vice president.

The resolution is not the final decision and neither Kenyatta nor Hogg are stripped of their titles meanwhile; It will have to be adopted or rejected by the entire DNC agency in an electronic vote or in person. The moment of this broader vote is not clear, but the party officials said in statements after the vote they want to act quickly.

The vote was based on a free challenge presented at the end of February, before the eruption of a dispute between Hogg, whose separate organization leaders we deserve is to support the main challengers to democratic headlines, and others in the party that believe that the DNC needs to remain neutral.

But Hogg, a shooting survivor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that aims to reform the Democratic Party, said Monday that the committee’s vote cannot be unbuilt from his dispute with the party.

“While this vote was based on how the DNC made the elections of its officers, which had nothing to do, it is also impossible to ignore the broadest context of my work to reform the party that rose on this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after Monday’s vote.

Hogg argued that due to his announcement that his organization would support the main challengers, the DNC “has made it clear that they were going to eliminate me … I ran to be DNC vice president to help improve the Democratic Party, not to defend a indefensible state that has caused voters in almost all demographic groups to move away from the United States.

Kenyatta, in a thread Posted in x On Monday night, he said he respects the vote, but is frustrated by her. He criticized the HOGG approach, emphasizing his own work as vice president.

“I do not agree with the ruling, but ultimately, the committee voted and respect its votes, even when I really do not agree. Secondly, the press has not been breathless to cover the main character they have chosen, David Hogg. They rush to do it again. I call Bs,” Kenyatta, a state representative of Pennsylvania, wrote.

Kenyatta described the movement of the committee as a “slap on the face.” He added that he has done the job to maintain the work of the vice president and that Hogg “frustrated” wants to do everything about him.

In a statement to ABC News at dawn on Tuesday, free, the DNC member and vice president of candidate who initially challenged the results, applauded the credential committee for “correcting this badly.”

Free wrote: “I have always known that the Democratic Party is the party of free and fair elections. Today, the DNC credential committee confirmed that correcting errors in the process, and protecting democracy is more important than saving your face. This was never about Malcolm Kenyatta or David Hogg. For me, this was about the life of the Democratic Party to our ideals as the only political party to believe.

In response to the decision, DNC president Ken Martin said he was “disappointed to know that before becoming president, there was an error of procedure in the elections of February vice president.”

He added: “I thank all our officers for their service, including vice presidents Kenyatta and Hogg, and I hope to continue working with them in their officers’ positions, since this matter is resolved.”
