DNC Autopsy of Disastrous '24 Election Released, and It's As Pathetic As You'd Expect

The Democratic National Committee finally released its autopsy on the 2024 presidential campaign, where then-Vice President Kamala Harris was roundly crushed by Donald Trump even after she blew through an over $1 billion war chest.

Before we can even get to their findings, however, the story has become how badly they botched the roll-out and looked quite slippery in the process:

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.
Martin had been pummeled in public for months after he promised to release the report and then reversed course in December, saying he would not do so. It’s one in a series of negative storylines that Martin has faced during his short tenure at the DNC, even as Democrats have made political gains in elections in the past year.

Making matters worse for the Dems, it appears as if they failed to truly look in the mirror and face the fact that they put up a terrible candidate whose policies didn’t resonate with regular Americans. Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet brutally summarized the weak excuse for an explanation of the weak campaign:

CNN just spent an entire segment proving the DNC autopsy is every bit as bad and evasive as we expected.

CNN just spent an entire segment proving the DNC autopsy is every bit as bad and evasive as we expected.
"There are a lot of things in that version that are incomplete, uh, and also it does not touch a couple topics that a lot of people were very interested in and thought were the reasons for this report not being out."
"There is nothing about Joe Biden and what happened in the debate. There is nothing about Kamala Harris getting the nomination without any kind of primary process."

Kamala Now Begging for 2024 Election Autopsy Release, but We Already Know the Real Problem

The hapless Martin was full of excuses:

“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.”

Remember, these are the people who want to run your country. They can’t even manage to get a report out without tripping over themselves.

BREAKING: Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz is calling the 2024 DNC Autopsy report "malpractice."
"It sounds like we need a malpractice attorney because we couldn't even do the autopsy correctly."
"We got SHELLACKED in the last election. I mean, we lost every single solitary swing state."
The report hasn't even been out that long and Democrats are already turning on one another.

What did the autopsy actually find, though? A bunch of gobbledygook that seems to ignore the heart of the matter:

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.”

Underfunded? As Ole Joe might say, “c’mon, man.”

Here’s the report I would give: you crowned a vacuous candidate in Harris, who has never won a single presidential primary, and tried to get us to believe that she was brilliant and profound despite the fact that she couldn’t compose a single coherent sentence.

Summary for Ken Martin: the Democratic Party is the party of decline, malaise, and division. Inexplicably, a large number of American voters are down with this dark vision, but in 2024 and hopefully 2026 and 2028, even more said, “no thanks. Take your losing act somewhere else."
