The Democratic National Committee released an incomplete autopsy report on the 2024 election on Thursday, after months of pressure from Democrats to do so.
In publishing it, DNC Chair Ken Martin disowned the report, calling it not “ready for primetime.” In a lengthy statement, Martin said when he received the report last year, “no source material was provided, fixing it would have meant starting over, from the beginning.”
“I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced,” Martin said. “After last November’s massive Democratic wins, I didn’t want to create a distraction, but by not putting the report out, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize.”
