DNC vice chair David Hogg praises Rep. Jasmine Crockett, says Democratic need 'this type of leader'

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg has expressed strong support for Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), praising her as an exemplary leader for the Democratic Party.

During “The Breakfast Club” radio show, Hogg said, "I love her. She is amazing," while discussing the Dallas congresswoman.

"I think that people want to see somebody who fights and calls out the bulls–t ultimately," he explained to host Charlamagne Tha God . "I think that's what Jasmine does."

Hogg, who currently serves as DNC vice chair, emphasised Crockett's authenticity, stating, "I think Jasmine is, frankly, the type of leader that we're really looking to support in some senses, right? Somebody who is out there that frankly doesn't give a damn what the other side — at least the elected Republicans in Congress — say."

Crockett, 44, has been notably critical of President Trump following his 2024 election victory, labelling him a "dictator" and "enemy to the United States." In March, she expressed uncertainty about future elections in 2028 and made controversial comparisons between Trump and deported alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The congresswoman has sparked controversy with various statements, including comments about Hispanic Trump supporters in a December Vanity Fair interview and remarks about Texas Governor Greg Abbott's wheelchair use. She recently faced criticism for allegedly bypassing airport queues, including wheelchair users, at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Hogg's endorsement comes amid declining Democratic leadership approval ratings, which reached 25% last month according to Gallup. The 25-year-old vice chair, who survived the February 2018 Parkland school shooting, faces potential removal from his position, with a DNC vote scheduled for June.
