House Democrats have joined the fight to force the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to release its internal 2024 report.
They want to know what caused former Vice President Kamala Harris to lose so badly to President Donald Trump. I mean, besides the obvious fact that she’s not relatable and that laugh.
Democrats also lost the Senate majority and didn’t gain control of the House.
From Fox News:
“Why haven’t we put it out? Because we got our butts kicked,” Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., said. “I think it’s going to be embarrassing, apparently, to some people.””Why? I have no idea,” Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said when asked why the report had not been released. “And whether they should? I don’t know.”Following the Democrats’ sweeping losses in the 2024 election cycle, the DNC launched an internal autopsy investigating where the party fell short in securing a win in both the presidential election and the majority in Congress.Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., argued party leaders ignored longtime Democratic voters and failed to deliver on key promises while in power.”They don’t want people to know the truth,” Tlaib said. “They messed up. They didn’t listen to their Democratic base.”
Harris reportedly joined the chorus, too.
The DNC announced it would compile a report about the 2024 election.
Democrats seethed when the DNC revealed it “would skip analyzing whether then-President Joe Biden should have run for re-election in 2024 and would pass on judging key decisions made by Harris and her team, after she replaced Biden as the party’s nominee with just over three months to go until the 2024 election.”
But when the Democrats won bigly in 2025, Martin changed course and decided not to release the report.
Martin somewhat caved when he said he would release some of the results:
In explaining his decision, Martin wrote, “We completed a comprehensive review of what happened in 2024 and are already putting our learnings into motion. And we’re winning again — even in places that haven’t gone blue in decades. In our conversations with stakeholders from across the Democratic ecosystem, we are aligned on what’s important, and that’s learning from the past and winning the future.””Here’s our North Star: does this help us win? If the answer is no, it’s a distraction from the core mission,” he emphasized.
That’s when the anger started to grow:
Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior advisor to then-President Barack Obama and a co-host of the popular progressive podcast “Pod Save America,” also took to social media to criticize the move.”This is a very bad decision that reeks of the caution and complacency that brought us to this moment,” Pfeiffer wrote.His podcast co-host and fellow Obama alum Jon Favreau called the DNC flip-flop “unreal” and “baffling.””The DNC’s actual position is that if the public knew more about what Democrats got wrong in the last election, it would hurt the party’s chances in the next election,” Favreau wrote on X. “How does this rebuild trust between the party insiders and grassroots activists and organizers?”
