Hogg has nudged Democrats to become less judgmental and more forceful in their messaging as the party dithers over what direction to take under the second Trump administration.

“It’s time we stop surrendering, go on offense, and take the fight to Donald Trump,” he added on X. “We need to show [the public] who we are again, to rid our party of its judgmental attitudes, and do the work to win back every group we lost this year.”

Hogg notched around 215 votes, and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta scored 298 votes, above the 205 threshold. Artie Blanco from Nevada nabbed the third vice chair role during the third round of voting.
