The Democratic National Committee is moving forward with plans to remove controversial vice chair David Hogg.
Hogg set of a firestorm in the party when he vowed to spend $20 million to primary "asleep at the wheel" Democrats.
DNC members will be voting from June 9 to June 11 on whether to hold a redo of the election for Hogg's position, Politico said. If approved, another election will be held for vice chairs.
Earlier this month, a subcommittee in the DNC recommended on Monday to invalidate a February vice chair election, asserting that it gave an unfair advantage to Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta. The matter was unrelated to the controversy Hogg generated.
Hogg objected to the redo during a meeting of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws committee Thursday.
It "sends a horrible message to the public about our inability to run elections," Hogg said, according to Politico. "If we're to redo this election, it truly just sends a horrible message that we really do not want out there at this moment. That's why I believe that it should not go forward."
DNC Chair Ken Martin recently proposed a change to the party's bylaws requiring DNC officers remain neutral in all primaries, Politico reported.
