US EditionDNC will not release its report on what went wrong for Democrats in 2024
DNC Chair Ken Martin cites risk of infighting and distraction, despite 300 interviews and data from all 50 states, as Democrats focus on private reforms after 2024 loss.
- The Democratic National Committee decided not to publish its much-anticipated internal review of the 2024 election loss, arguing that releasing it could deepen internal divisions rather than strengthen party unity.
- DNC Chair Ken Martin said the party is already applying lessons learned and emphasized recent electoral successes, claiming Democrats are regaining momentum through off-year and special election wins.

- Party officials involved in the review concluded that publicly revisiting the election defeat would be counterproductive, preferring to focus on forward-looking reforms and upcoming contests instead.
