Democratic party infighting will be financed in the upcoming election cycle, thanks to a controversial initiative to fund primary challengers running against sitting Democratic lawmakers.
Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg, a 25-year-old activist and Parkland school shooting survivor, announced this week that his group Leaders We Deserve will spend $20 million targeting "ineffective" Democratic incumbents in reliably blue districts. The goal, he says, is to inject fresh energy and generational change into a party he believes is falling out of touch with its base.
