The DNC's 2024 Autopsy Is a Mess, Here's Everything Wrong With It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Democratic Party just released its long-awaited autopsy of the 2024 Harris campaign, and it's not what voters were promised.
The 192-page report has no executive summary, no conclusion, no sourcing, and is riddled with basic factual errors. The DNC itself won't endorse it. So what does it actually say, and why was it released at all?
Today, Grant breaks down what's in the report, what's glaringly missing (hint: Gaza), and what this tells us about the Democratic Party six months out from the midterms.
