Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg blasted his own party Friday night for alienating young men, arguing that Democrats are out of touch with this key demographic that helped power Donald Trump’s stunning 2024 victory.

“What I think happened last election is younger men — they would rather vote for somebody who they don’t completely agree with, they don’t feel judged by,” Hogg said on Real Time with Bill Maher. “Than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly.”

Hogg, 25, a gun control activist and Parkland shooting survivor, said Democrats have grown “too elitist” and warned that the party’s judgmental tone is pushing away voters who should be natural allies.
