- Kamala Harris has privately told donors she wants the postmortem made public, according to NBC News reporting cited by the New York Post.
- DNC Chair Ken Martin ordered the review after the 2024 loss, then decided in late 2025 to keep it private as a “distraction,” and the committee still has not released the full report.
- Conflicting accounts describe what the analysis covers, with Axios noting only brief references to the Israel‑Hamas war’s political impact and a Crooked Media reporter saying the section read as “gobbledygook,” alongside rumors it was never fully finished.
