DNC Opts Not to Release Full 2024 Election Autopsy, Citing Focus on Forward Lessons

" Carville said the answer to what went wrong lies in the autopsy that has been paid for, adding that the DNC is sitting on it because it might hurt somebody's feelings. "You're supposed to have your feelings hurt when you lose," he said. " He compared the situation to an airplane crash.

"When an airplane crashes, the last thing anybody says is 'Let's not look back. Let's just look forward,'" Carville stated. " Carville said he is going to be on this "like gravy on rice" because it is too stupid for words.

He added that the Democrats did not get a single vote on Election Day that they were not already going to get on Labor Day. Carville asked where the money for the autopsy went, how it was spent, what was effective and what was not effective. Al Hunt, Carville's "Politics War Room" co-host, said he thought the autopsy should be released but was not too focused on it.

Hunt and Carville both felt confident that then-Vice President Kamala Harris was going to win the 2024 election. The Democratic National Committee decided not to release its 2024 election autopsy report. Instead, the DNC released lessons from the 2024 election.

DNC Chair Ken Martin was interviewed on "Pod Save America" in April, where host Jon Favreau sparred with him for more than 10 minutes over the reversal on releasing the autopsy report. In that April interview, Ken Martin said the DNC announced in a November press release that it was not going to release the report.

"We are going to actually keep our focus on those lessons, and we released those lessons," Martin said.
