DNC vice chair takes social media flak for criticizing Trump's Daytona 500 appearance

President Donald Trump participated in the pace lap at the Daytona 500 race.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg took heat on social media on Monday as he criticized President Donald Trump for his appearance at the Daytona 500.

Trump was at Daytona International Speedway for the event and became the first president to be at the race twice. He was in the presidential limousine, "The Beast," as it led drivers on a pace lap before the green flag dropped. He also delivered a personal message to racers as well.

As Trump said the spirit of NASCAR and its fans will "fuel America’s Golden Age," Hogg claimed the president’s decision to go to the race was nothing more than a "publicity stunt."

"Driving in circles for a multi million dollar publicity stunt while claiming you care so much about ‘efficiency’ as thousands are illegally fired from their jobs and prices continue to climb is the perfect symbolism for the Trump admin," Hogg wrote on X.

The DNC official faced criticism for his remarks.

He rose to prominence as a survivor of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting and founded a political action committee in 2023, which he said aims to help young progressives get elected to Congress and state legislatures across the country.
