David Hogg is selectively looking to challenge some leaders. But I wonder if another use for the same funds is to support and get more people to run for the many uncontested positions at all levels of government.
An additional way to manage the party is for someone like Schumer to no longer be minority leader - he lacks the savvy and energy to really help the party do the best it can in the Senate. Compared to McConnell when he was in a similar role, Schumer lacks the cleverness to use the rules to be used in creative ways - and lacks the willingness to gut punch. There are hard Democratic fighters in both the Senate and House but they need to be empowered to play more leadership roles. In addition the party as a whole needs to play a much bigger, loud and persistent role in the mass media. MAGA has Fox News. The Democrats need a a propaganda voice that constantly attacks and contradicts the other side and which utilizes a range of spokespersons to tell the story. This means a new voice coming out of the Democratic headquarters.
