Few Minnesota Dems Backing Ken Martin as DNC Boss Faces Calls to Resign
The report’s errors and delays have fueled criticism from Democrats who say the party missed key lessons from its 2024 defeat.
- On Thursday, Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin released a long-delayed 2024 election autopsy, immediately sparking calls for his resignation from party officials and donors who criticized the document's quality and completeness.
- Martin commissioned Democratic consultant Paul Rivera to write the analysis, which lacks underlying data, contains factual errors, and includes a disclaimer stating the DNC cannot independently verify claims presented in the report.

- Despite mounting pressure, Martin apologized for mishandling the report during a May 21 staff call but vowed to continue leading the organization, even as Democrats face midterm elections five and a half months away.
