Young primary challengers post strong fundraising numbers

Several Democratic incumbents are seeing their young primary opponents boast impressive fundraising numbers as the party toils between placing its faith in its incumbent establishment or in a future featuring younger, more progressive candidates.

As some younger Democratic activists advocate fresher candidates to represent the party, they have gotten caught in the crosshairs of the priorities of the more senior establishment. David Hogg, the 25-year-old March For Our Lives activist, was ousted from his former role as vice president of the Democratic National Committee after supporting several primary candidates instead of incumbents.
