DNC Autopsy Draft Highlights Campaign Missteps and Leadership Strains

The Democratic National Committee released a nearly 200-page draft autopsy of the 2024 campaign, faulting both Biden’s operation and Harris’s team for failing to distance from Biden and to mount an effective strategy against Trump. The document, criticized as disorganized and containing unverified passages, exposes leadership tensions at the D.N.C., questions about its finances (the party reported debt with little cash on hand), and calls for a shift toward economic messaging over identity politics ahead of 2028. It has prompted renewed scrutiny of D.N.C. chair Ken Martin and sparked debate about how the party should move forward.

Biden and Clinton Laud Colbert as Late Show Finale Approaches

President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton paid tributes to Stephen Colbert ahead of his Late Show finale, praising his wit, thoughtfulness and honesty; Biden noted Colbert’s ability to make people laugh and think and recalled he has appeared six times on the show since its 2015 launch, even though he didn’t appear during Biden’s presidency. Clinton lauded Colbert’s empathy and humility as he wraps up his long-running run, with the finale taping underway and Trump’s appearances on the show historically limited.

Democrats' Autopsy: Harris Struggled to Distinguish Herself and Confront Trump in 2024 Run

A draft Democratic autopsy argues Kamala Harris failed to present an affirmative case and did not sufficiently separate herself from Joe Biden, struggled to blunt Donald Trump (noting a highly effective Trump ad on transgender-inmate funding), and was hampered by White House positioning and messaging—though Harris’s late elevation helped down-ballot Democrats and the report urges a clearer, more contrasted campaign strategy.

Democratic Draft Autopsy Faults Biden-Harris Campaigns After 2024 Loss

The DNC released a 192-page draft autopsy of the 2024 race, faulting both Biden and Harris for failing to mount a compelling case against Trump and for weak, inconsistent messaging, with many assertions lacking documented sourcing. It notes Harris’s late switch to the top of the ticket helped down-ballot races, while Biden’s exit may have aided the party overall. The report highlights a Trump ad linking Harris to taxpayer-funded surgeries for transgender inmates as especially effective and criticizes White House positioning of Harris. It also raises concerns about fundraising and party infrastructure, and has sparked internal critiques of DNC chair Ken Martin as the party braces for 2028.

Biden to fight release of memoir-audio tapes in legal showdown

President Biden plans to seek court action to block the release of roughly 70 hours of partially redacted audio from his 2017 interviews with a memoir ghostwriter, arguing disclosures could be weaponized or invade privacy; the DOJ says Biden has a deadline to act and a release to Congress and the Heritage Foundation could be paused until June 15 if he goes to court. The tapes include Biden saying he "found all the classified stuff downstairs," though he has repeatedly said he did not share classified information. The case centers on FOIA litigation and whether the materials are personal records or presidential papers, with implications for transparency and congressional access.
