The Democratic National Committee \u2014 after months of both internal and external pressure \u2014 released a haphazard version of its autopsy<\/a> of Kamala Harris\u2019 failed 2024 presidential campaign on Thursday.<\/p>\n The report paints a bleak portrait of the party following the crushing loss to President Donald Trump, who carried every battleground state in his Electoral College romp, even as it fails to address some of the defining issues of the campaign, including Israel and Gaza.<\/p>\n Democrats \u201chave proven incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership, and voters have drifted away,\u201d Democratic strategist Paul Rivera, who authored the report but is not mentioned in the published version, writes. The autopsy was first released by CNN<\/a> and shortly after published by the DNC.<\/p>\n Rivera writes that since President Barack Obama\u2019s historic win in 2008, \u201cDemocrats have lost ground at every level of government.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThese losses are the direct result of missed opportunities to invest in our states, counties, and local parties and candidates,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n This is a breaking news story that will be updated.<\/p>\n
