The Democratic National Committee is killing its autopsy of the 2024 election.
Ken Martin, the chairman of the D.N.C., said on Thursday that he had decided not to publish a report that he ordered months ago into what went wrong for the Democratic Party last year. Party officials have conducted more than 300 interviews with Democrats in all 50 states to create a document that Mr. Martin had once pitched as crucial to charting a path forward.
Mr. Martin will instead keep the findings under seal. He believes that looking back so publicly and painfully at the past would prove counterproductive for the party as it tries next year to take back power in Congress, according to a D.N.C. spokeswoman who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share the thinking behind his decision.
“Here’s our North Star: Does this help us win?” Mr. Martin said in a statement. “If the answer is no, it’s a distraction from the core mission.”
Many Democrats want to move on from 2024 and keep the focus on President Trump. They began the year demoralized but now feel emboldened after the party’s series of victories in November and special elections this year.
Still, even if it is good politics to stuff the report in a filing cabinet, Democrats may well be avoiding self-examination and a chance for introspection.
“It’s reflective of a broader problem within the party, which is we are scared of ever making anybody in our coalition upset,” said Simon Bazelon, a Democratic researcher who was the lead author of a different autopsy, called Deciding to Win, that was released by Welcome PAC, a centrist group. “I understand the incentives involved there. But it also limits us in a lot of ways because it means we can’t address difficult questions head on.”

Barack Obama not leaving DC, that’s what happened. Until this Nixonesc loser is removed from DC, they won’t stand a chance.
Not surprisingly, the “core mission” of the Democrat Party is win power. Mr. Martin is to be credited for his candor.
Okay. In great Freeper tradition, I’m not reading the article. After all it IS the NYTimes.
However, have they now decided that the D party hasn’t moved too far left after all? Is it full steam ahead with communism for any and all upcoming elections?
They could focus on what went right in 2020...
“The most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”
For $100 I’ll tell them all they need to know.
1 ) You Suck
2 ) Kamala is braindead - insert cackle
Yes.
They are doing great, so far.
Barak, the shadow demon is still hell bent on destroying America and any patriots period.
With all the assassinations lately, Trump had better lay low.
He is the prime target.
Kirk has been eliminated.
There will be more>>>>certain MAGA politicians, Jews, Christians.
Even Erika Kirk.
It must have had too much truth in it.................
Since many of the groups within their coalition have NOTHING in common other than the "D" by their name...
Crockett’s the answer.
So...... They interviewed the entire MSLSD audience
Martin, in a statement, said releasing the report would be “a distraction” from the party’s “core mission” to win back congressional majorities in next year’s midterm elections.
Whatever plan the Democrats had, I’m sorry to say it was likely a real loser. If they had a plan to win honorably, that woud be a real plan, but I can’t think what it would be.
Aw hell, Trump Bad and run Kamala again. That’s the DNC strategy right there.
5 words: “We didn’t cheat hard enough.”
I’ll take the assignment for $1.5 Million.
Trump appealed to more people than the dumb sounding and laughing Kamala and more people voted for Trump than for her.
Old joke of a basketball player figuring out a nuance of the game:
“I found that every time the other team scores more points than ours did, they won those games. Every time.”
