DNC Chair Faces Pressure to Quit After Faulty Election Autopsy Release
Ken Martin, head of the Democratic National Committee, is facing mounting calls to resign after releasing a delayed and criticized autopsy of Kamala Harris’s 2024 defeat to Donald Trump. Critics say the report was hastily produced, omitted key issues (including Joe Biden’s decision to run and Gaza/Israel references), and lacked oversight. The controversy has drawn fare of several Democratic lawmakers and progressive groups, culminating in a PCCC survey showing about 95% of respondents want Martin to step down. Potential successors are being discussed, while Martin apologizes and defends publishing the report to restore trust in the party.
