Kenyatta elected as a DNC vice chair

[RandySF]

Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta was elected as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Saturday, after the party revoked an earlier election that elevated David Hogg to one of the vice chairs.

Kenyatta, who was also elected in that first election, secured the position again after receiving 374.5 votes, or 99 percent of voting members in the re-vote. Hogg did not run this time around, and the party will select among three female candidates on Tuesday for a second vacant vice chair role.

“Malcolm Kenyatta has been a strong and effective leader as DNC Vice Chair. He has been committed to this work since day one, and I look forward to continuing this fight with him,” said DNC Chair Ken Martin.

DNC Vice Chair David Hogg announced Wednesday that he would not be running for reelection for his spot. His decision came after DNC members voted 294 to 99 to redo the vice chair election of Hogg and Kenyatta.

1. Yayyy! I love him. I don't live in PA but I donated to his campaign when he ran against Fetterman. PA you got that one

wrong.

2. Like him or not, the DNC did Hogg dirty. He dared to speak truth to the gerontocracy and weak elements in the party.

3. I wish the DNC fought the GOP and MAGA as fiercely as they fight progressives. No very pointed questions or sternly

worded letters for anyone who dares not "wait their turn". Nope, for them, the DNC gets their knives out.

16. Malcolm Kenyatta is a progressive.

And I wish the "Not Us. Me." faction of progressives would fight the GOP and MAGA as fiercely as they fight good, strong, ACTUAL progressive Democrats.

4. he's grabbing the cash for his PAC just like th eother players. He has become what he used to be against nt

7. Yeah, he may be a grifter but he was 100% correct about the ills of the party and what needs to be done.

[W_HAMILTON]

15. I now don't like Hogg and he was the one doing us dirty.

And it apparently continued, as he whined that he was ousted by the dastardly DNC when, in fact, he chose not to run for the position again, likely because he knew that he had no chance of beating Kenyatta, who actually worked for the votes he received rather than piss everyone off by pulling all the stunts Hogg did recently and then threaten to primary them.

5. Good on Malcolm Kenyatta! The DNC Followed the Rules

Hogg did NOT.

TY, RSF.. Is there going to be another Vice Chair?

[LonePirate]

8. What rules exactly did Hogg not follow? Did he force the DNC to hold an election so he could win it?

9. Kick ass and take names, Chairman Kenyatta! Congrats! (nt)

[Nixie]

11. Kenyatta called Hogg's disinformation campaign out and

Hogg apparently had no answers. We dodged a bullet with that one. Kenyatta is so excellent!

12. 99%! Congratulations!

14. Excellent news! On all counts! Whoever Hogg's Super PAC endorses, I'll be sure to look at the opponent.

Likely to be a much better choice.
