Democrats Tried To Bury 2024 Election Autopsy
The Democratic Party has released an autopsy report following its loss in the 2024 election, which was delayed due to internal resistance. The report highlights significant failures and a decline in public confidence since the 2008 election. Despite the release, the DNC Chairman has distanced the party from the report's contents, emphasizing that it does not reflect the party's official stance.
- ▪The Democratic Party only released its 2024 election autopsy report after public pressure, 18 months post-election.
- ▪DNC Chairman Ken Martin acknowledged the party's need for introspection and admitted to losing ground at all levels of government since 2008.
- ▪The report includes a disclaimer stating it reflects the author's views and not those of the DNC, which did not verify many claims.
