A top Democratic National Committee official has claimed the party spent $2 billion trying to trick Americans into ‘not believing their eyes’ amid Joe Biden’s bid to win a second term as president.
David Hogg, the 25-year-old vice chair, argued on Friday that the Democratic Party lost the presidential election in 2024 because they spent a fortune trying to get voters to believe that former President Joe Biden was fine and the economy was performing well.
‘People said to us that “Joe Biden is too old,” and they said that “prices are too high,”‘ Hogg recounted on Real Time with Bill Maher.
‘And we said, with the power of $2 billion behind us, “No he’s not,” then “Yes he is” and then “No they’re not, look at this graph of the stock market,”‘ he claimed.
Host Bill Maher had earlier argued in the segment that woke ideology was what turned voters away from the Democrats at the polls.
But while Hogg conceded the point, he claimed the stunning defeat had more to do with voters thinking Trump heard their concerns – while Democrats were pushing back on what they were feeling.
‘I think the reason that worked though, Bill, is because people felt like they weren’t heard by us,’ he argued.
Hogg, who was a student at Parkland high school during the deadly shooting, then went on to mention how the party allegedly covered up Biden’s mental decline, and declared: ‘If you tell people not to believe their eyes and their wallets, you’re going to lose.’
Still, the former president has said he does not believe it would have made any difference if he had dropped out of the race sooner.
David Hogg’s net worth is reported around $2 million, and he’s just 25 years old! In my opinion, that stinks and smells of opportunism. The guy lucked out and happened to be at the Parkland shooting and was manipulative enough to turn that into a fortune. How hard could that be? Besides telling sad stories and fundraising for his own personal benefit, what has he done?
$2 Billion, for real ?? They sure know how to waste money
