The Democratic National Committee is cracking down on gun control advocate and DNC vice chair David Hogg’s plans to spend millions primarying incumbents in safe seats that he deems “ineffective.” Under a proposal set to be unveiled Thursday, national Democratic officials would be required to pledge neutrality in all primaries. Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin will call for DNC official’s neutrality to be codified in the party’s official rules and bylaws, two Democratic sources tell CNN. Martin has already been telling DNC members of his plans and will explain more in a call with members Thursday afternoon. News of Martin’s plan was first reported by NOTUS. “No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger,” DNC chairman Ken Martin told reporters on a call Thursday. “Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership.” The DNC’s Rules & Bylaws committee is expected to vote on Martin’s proposal next month in a virtual meeting. If the committee approves the proposal it will advance to a full vote of the DNC membership in August.
