Left-wing social media influencer David Hogg has been elected vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), making history as the first member of Generation Z to assume the position.
Hogg, a well-known anti-gun activist, rose to national prominence following the 2018 Parkland school shooting.
He accepted the nomination in a speech that lasted approximately one minute. “Who’s ready to take the fight to the Republicans?” he said. “Let’s go and kick some ass!”
