DNC releases flawed 2024 election autopsy report amid internal backlash.
The Democratic National Committee released a long-delayed, 192-page autopsy report on its 2024 election loss after facing intense internal pressure. The document was widely criticized for being incomplete, riddled with errors, and missing key sections, prompting DNC Chair Ken Martin to disavow it. The report's omission of the war in Gaza and Biden's decision to run for re-election sparked significant controversy, while Martin faced calls to resign over his handling of the document's release.

The split, in one line
Progressive outlets blast the total erasure of Gaza as a fatal omission, while right-leaning ones highlight the autopsy's own admissions of identity politics failure and anti-Trump obsession; the wires and mainstream press center the botched rollout and calls for Martin to resign.
