Sometimes it is not a matter of just messaging, as we've said for the past 15 years in the Democratic Party, it is a matter of the messengers.

And that's what we're trying to do is say across the board, Democrats need to stand up and fight harder.

And if there's somebody that feels nervous about potentially being challenged as a member of Congress, they should ask themselves why that is, ultimately, because we all need to step up to the plate to do more

here.

Coming up on this week's more to the story, we dive into the fight over the future of the Democratic

Party.

I sit down with gun control activists and party leader David Hogg.

He discusses his efforts to oust what he says are ineffective Democratic legislators

and why that could get him kicked out of the Democratic National Committee.

Stay with us. This is more to the story. I'm Al Letson. Seven years ago, David Hogg was just another high school senior in Parkland, Florida, taking speech and debate classes and prepping for college.

But that changed dramatically when a former student entered his school and committed the deadliest

mass shooting at a high school in U.S. history. David and other Parkland survivors soon became

prominent gun control advocates. Today, David is a vice chair at the Democratic National

Committee and the first member of Gen Z to hold that job. But some in the party are attacking

his recent efforts. He's trying to recruit young candidates to challenge incumbent Democrats

across the country. And now, those efforts could lead to his own

ousting. Here's DNC chair, Ken Martin, discussing this in April on CNN. No DNC officers should ever

attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a

challenger. While, you know, certainly, you know, I understand what he's trying to do.

As I've said to him, if you want to challenge in comments, you're more than free to do that,

but just not as an officer of the DNC.

David, how are you doing, man?
