The 25-year-old activist added that the path forward "requires us to do both things."
"We absolutely cannot wait for people to retire at their own leisure or to let them sit there and do nothing while the country is burning," Hogg concluded.
Hogg originally announced that his organization, Leaders We Deserve, planned to dedicate $20 million to electing younger primary candidates against older incumbents. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor predicted that "some incumbents will rise to the challenge and emerge stronger" due to the initiative.
