A 192-page post-election autopsy released by the Democratic National Committee criticizes aspects of the 2024 presidential campaign. The report says Kamala Harris “wrote off rural America” and that Democrats failed to attack Donald Trump with enough “negative firepower.” DNC chair Ken Martin released the report only after internal pressure and after months of delay, citing concerns it would distract ahead of the midterms. Martin later apologized and said the report was withheld because it “was not ready for primetime.” The autopsy criticizes Democrats’ focus on “identity politics,” but it omits major controversies, including Joe Biden’s decision to seek reelection, Harris’s rushed selection, and party divisions over the war in Gaza.
""I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won't meet your standards," Martin wrote in an essay on Substack on Thursday. "I don't endorse what's in this report, or what's left out of it. I could not in good faith put the DNC's stamp of approval on it. But transparency is paramount.""
