New DNC Chair Already Unsure If He Wants To Lead Party
Story by Harold Hutchison • 4h
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin is reportedly ready to quit his role as party chief, citing DNC Vice Chairman David Hogg’s effort to primary some Democrats in Congress, according to Politico.
Martin expressed frustration with the anti-Second Amendment activist, who became prominent after the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, during a May 15 Zoom meeting, Politico reported Sunday. The DNC is slated to vote on whether to hold new elections for the leadership positions held by Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta due to procedural errors that allegedly made it harder for a woman to be elected.
“I’ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job … the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,” Martin said in the two-minute recording provided to Politico, during which he appeared to choke up.
