The DNC offers four opportunities to serve in a vice chair capacity -- three general vice chairperson roles and one vice chairperson for civic engagement and voter participation.At 24, Hogg is considerably younger than the declared candidates for DNC chair, notable after Vice President Kamala Harris' pitched herself as a "new generation of leadership" during her presidential bid.

Hogg was also a vocal supporter of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's vice presidential bid. "We need to realize that we are increasingly the party of sycophants," he said.
