David Hogg’s future could include first male host of The View: Joe Concha – Washington Examiner
In a recent commentary, Joe Concha from the Washington Examiner speculated that David Hogg’s tenure as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) might potentially be short-lived. following meaningful losses in the 2024 elections, in which Donald Trump returned to the presidency and Republicans gained control of Congress, Hogg has been focusing on initiatives to elect younger candidates. However, this has caused division within the Democratic Party, leading to discussions about Hogg’s potential ousting.Concha suggested that Hogg could possibly transition to becoming the first male host of “the View” or work at MSNBC. He criticized Hogg’s left-leaning stance, arguing that it exacerbates fractures in the party, contrasting him with more centrist figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Concha emphasized the need for the Democratic Party to address its internal conflicts and indicated that much of Hogg’s challenges stem from his political immaturity. The dynamics within the DNC could shift depending on the outcomes of ongoing economic negotiations by Trump’s management,signaling potential opportunities for Democrats if Trump fails.
David Hogg’s future could include first male host of The View: Joe Concha
The Washington Examiner’s Joe Concha suggested the days of David Hogg serving as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee are numbered, adding possible new ventures could include being the first male host of The View.
Hogg was elected earlier this year to his DNC leadership role following 2024 election losses that saw President Donald Trump enter the White House for a second time and Republicans take control of both houses of Congress.
As vice chairman, Hogg has been outspoken regarding his plan to launch a primary initiative that would spend $20 million on electing younger politicians through his organization, Leaders We Deserve. The initiative, which would seek to unseat current Democratic lawmakers, has created division within the party’s leadership and talk that Hogg could be removed from his role. DNC Chairman Ken Martin, however, told the Washington Examiner that he has no “intention” of forcing out Hogg.
“You would think that if you’re No. 2 at the DNC, your job is kind of to defeat Republicans and not just upset the apple cart like that,” Concha told Fox Business Network’s Kudlow on Thursday. “So, he’s on his way out. I’ll give him a week, maybe two at this point.”
Concha has noted that Hogg’s left-wing views have created a greater fracture within the Democratic Party, making progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) “look centrist.” His comments come as the party is experiencing record-low polling figures.
“This is a party that needs to go towards the center again, like Bill Clinton did in 1994. Instead they are going so far to the left. It’s like Thelma and Louise — off the cliff at the end,” Concha said. “This is not somebody that you want to be the face [of the Democratic Party]. He’s on TV a lot.”
Concha argued that Hogg does not have the political maturity to change course regarding his views. When asked what might come next for Hogg, should he be ousted from his DNC role, Concha suggested he could “get a job at MSNBC or be the first male host of The View.”

The senior writer for the Washington Examiner also said he believes Trump will win his current trade battle that has found his administration in negotiations with several countries after issuing new tariffs. However, Concha noted that if Trump is not successful with his tariffs, or if the economy does not improve, the Democrats’ current disarray may have an opportunity to right itself.
“If he wins that,” Concha said regarding Trump’s current economic and trade war, “then Democrats will be in Sherwood Forest as far as the political wilderness for a very long time. If that goes the other way, then Democrats have an opportunity because Donald Trump’s failure is their gain.”
