'Why Wouldn't You Just Release It?': DNC Chair Confronted Over Buried 2024 Election Autopsy [View all]

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin was confronted on a podcast on Tuesday about his continued refusal to release an “autopsy” report dissecting the party’s defeat in the 2024 election.

Grassroots groups have not let up on calls to release the report, which Martin said in December would not be released publicly, claiming it would “prove counterproductive” to the party’s efforts going forward.

While the full report remains under lock and key, it was reported in February that the officials who crafted it believed that the Biden administration’s unwavering support of Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza cost then-Vice President Kamala Harris votes on Election Day and contributed to her loss to President Donald Trump.

Favreau pointed to the fact that when Martin ran for the position after the party’s gutting loss in 2024, he’d specifically criticized the party for refusing to release a similar report on Hillary Clinton’s loss in 2016 and promised that “of course” a review of the party’s 2024 loss “will be released” to the public.
