DNC report ‘does not meet my standards,’ chair Martin says
DNC Chair Ken Martin had made an initial commitment to release the so-called autopsy on the 2024 cycle, when former Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President Trump. He reversed course last year and sought to keep the report under wraps while the party focused on the midterms, prompting blowback. He said in Thursday’s release that the report still doesn’t meet his standards but emphasized transparency — though the move was met by even more consternation from some in the party.
