DNC Chair Refuses to Release Full 2024 Autopsy, Cites 'Navel Gazing'

Critics say secrecy blocks accountability to benefit a likely 2028 contender.

Overview

  • Ken Martin is refusing to publish the DNC’s full 200-page post-2024 review, calling a full release “navel gazing” and saying only high-level takeaways will be shared.
  • In a tense exchange on the Pod Save America podcast, Martin was pressed on reversing a 2025 pledge after blocking publication in December and on his claim there is “no smoking gun.”
  • Some Democrats are urging full disclosure, with DNC member Rep. Delia Ramirez saying the party must face the report’s findings to move forward.
  • Axios and the IMEU Policy Project have reported the unreleased analysis found Kamala Harris’s support for Biden’s Israel-Gaza policy hurt her 2024 standing.
  • With Harris saying she is “thinking about” a 2028 run, opinion writers and activists argue the secrecy shields her, citing a reported move by DNC official Gabriel Uy to work for her again.
