Democratic National Committee vice-chairman David Hogg is trying to make amends.
The 25-year-old has made a donation of $100,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee after facing a backlash for threatening House Democrats with primary challenges.
However, Hogg has insisted he isn’t “playing nice.”
He wrote on the X platform:
This is not me playing nice. It is demonstrating my commitment to winning back the house and making Hakeem Jeffries the Speaker, which is an absolute imperative.
But we need a better democratic party and need to get rid of the democrats in safe seats who do not understand what is at stake right now, who are asleep at the wheel, not meeting the moment, and are a liability now and to the future of our party.
The path forward requires us to do both things. We absolutely cannot wait for people to retire at their own leisure or to let them sit there and do nothing while the country is burning.

The donation, which came from his political action committee (PAC) Leaders We Deserve, came just days after he pledged a $20 million campaign aimed at supporting primary challenges against older, less-energetic Democratic incumbents.
“We have a culture of seniority politics that has created a litmus test of who deserves to be here,” he said in an interview with Politico.
”We need people, regardless of their age, that are here to fight,” he continued.
Just yesterday, Hogg strayed from the party line about saving American democracy by arguing that the will of the people is the source of all America’s problems.
He said during an interview on CBS:
We go out there as Democrats all the time and say democracy is the most important thing. We have to defend democracy.
We fail to acknowledge that this generation, democracy is what put us through school shooter drills and school shootings. It’s what’s put us through the climate crisis and so much more.
What we have to do is prove that democracy matters by standing up to the special interests that are killing the American dream and making our young people lose faith, not only in our party, but the future of this country. That is why we’re doing this.
