Democrats continue debating what caused the 2024 losses while aiming to retake the White House in 2028. A report released by CNN includes errors and no conclusion, suggesting it was previously withheld because it was poorly done. The report was selected for preparation by Paul Rivera, a veteran strategist who had not worked on a presidential campaign in over two decades and conducted the work part-time. The report includes a disclaimer stating it reflects the author’s views, that the DNC was not provided underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many assertions, and therefore cannot independently verify the claims. Martin apologized and released the report unedited and unabridged to maintain trust in the party and its word.
"The report, first released by CNN, contains errors and lacks a conclusion - an indication that part of the reason it hasn't been released before now was that it was poorly done. Martin selected Paul Rivera, a veteran Democratic strategist who is close to the chairman, to do the report, but Rivera had not worked on a presidential campaign in more than two decades and was conducting the autopsy part-time. The report has an unusual disclaimer, saying it "reflects the views of the author, not the DNC. The DNC was not provided with the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein and therefore cannot independently verify the claims presented.""
""I sincerely apologize," Martin said in a statement. "For full transparency, I am releasing the report as we received it, in its entirety, unedited and unabridged. It does not meet my standards, and it won't meet your standards, but I am doing this because people need to be able to trust the Democratic Party and trust our word.""
