The Democratic National Committee has released its analysis of the 2024 presidential campaign, in which then-Vice President Kamala Harris was decisively defeated by Donald Trump, despite spending over $1 billion in campaign funds. Before I even review the findings, the story has actually become more about how badly the roll-out of the 2024 autopsy has been thus far: Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin on Thursday released the party’s autopsy report on the 2024 election after facing intense pressure to do so.

“I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced. 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.”

Much of the 200-page draft autopsy report doesn’t focus directly on the 2024 election — it includes a lengthy recap of modern American political history dating back to the 2008 presidential election, historic fundraising and spending data from past elections and more. But the report also includes significant discussion of what the author believes went wrong for Democrats in 2024. The diagnosis includes underfunded state parties and Democratic declines in voter registration. The report also stated that a “persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement at the expense of Democratic growth, evolution, and ability to find common ground with seemingly disparate groups of voters from coast to coast, and the heartland Democrats tend to ignore.”
