Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has announced his endorsement of gun control activist David Hogg for the position of vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). In a statement shared on social media, Walz praised Hogg's leadership qualities and his ability to connect with the American public.

"David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic, and courageous leadership our party needs right now," said Walz. "After campaigning with David throughout the country, I know firsthand his unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party."
