Kamala Harris wants the DNC to release its autopsy report of the 2024 campaign

[TheProle]

As former Vice President Kamala Harris considers another run for president, she is also signaling that she has no problem with a public airing of what went wrong last time — telling donors she believes the Democratic National Committee should release its buried autopsy of her failed 2024 campaign, according to a person who has heard the conversations.

While she indicated to donors that she had no issue with releasing it, Harris has not discussed the postmortem with DNC Chairman Ken Martin and did not know about his decision to keep it under wraps until it happened, this person said.

Like most prospective candidates, Harris is staying involved in political affairs. That includes touring the country, giving speeches to state parties, developing the framework for a policy platform and sounding out fellow Democrats about her next chapter.

What’s unique about Harris is that while she tries to orient toward the future, many in her party are actively fighting over whether to keep examining the flaws of her last campaign.

1. Interesting development.

I suspect she may know enough about the content, and it could possibly help her should she run again.

4. If she plans to run again for major office, it would help her to know what is in it, of course

I'm confused as to what degree she personally is aware of what it says. If the only way for her to see it is if it's released publicly, then I understand her preferring for it to happen. If she's seen it all and thinks "none of this looks bad for me", then I also understand.

I suspect that DNC is keeping it under wraps because they think that overall, its public release would not help the party. Personally I'm okay with that, if that is indeed the calculation. DNC isn't obligated to release it in my mind. But Kamala should definitely know what is in it.

7. I believe we all need to know but I understand where you're coming from.

I suspect she understands the report clarifies responsibilities.

10. agreed

[mr715]

2. gee I wonder what it'll say...

[questionseverything]

3. I hope it says, " what the f**k were we doing in Texas " for the last night of campaigning

There was never a chance to win Texas and it actually pissed off people who thought they were getting a concert from Beyonce

If she had spent the last day in Wisconsin, she might of made a difference

[mr715]

5. "Who invited this war criminal Cheney"

[Rob H.]

12. Trying to court the mythical, on-the-fence Republican voter was an epic blunder, imo

They were never going to vote for any Democratic candidate no matter who they were.

14. If you're talking about Liz Cheney, Harris says: "We campaigned together for only one and a half days."

"The amount of that time, however, was exaggerated by the media's interest in our unlikely pairing."

[mr715]

15. So more than zero days.

[Rob H.]

16. She only had 107 days to campaign and blew a day and a half

trying to entice voters who ultimately didn't vote for her and were never going to vote for her, anyway. That time would've been better spent pursuing Latino, Arab, and working class voters. It also turned off a lot of progressive and anti-establishment voters who were on the fence about her, just a fiasco any way you slice it.

18. How do you know the people at those Harris rallies "were never going to vote for her, anyway"?

Supporters attend rallies, and Harris' rallies were very enthusiastic.

6. I hope her position gives sway to having this report released, after all the Ds paid for it, not the govt. nt

[leftstreet]

8. So this was leaked, not an interview?

Hmm

[carpetbagger]

9. Did I hear a call for the release of the Epstein Files?

I'm guessing there's nothing in that autopsy that will address the need for dramatic change well into an age where smart, earnest technocrats working for the common good don't come out on top.

I would have rather heard her roast Trump on the war.

[Rob H.]

11. "fighting over whether to keep examining the flaws of her last campaign"

People should learn from the mistakes that were made. It'd be insane and colossally irresponsible if they didn't, and that shouldn't be even a little controversial.

[everyonematters]

13. If suspicions of her covering up for Biden's mental acuity, were a substantial reason for her

losing the election, then she needs to know that because it is no going to go away. She may not have done anything wrong, but that doesn't change public perception.

[Jose Garcia]

17. Rahm Emmanuel is now also calling the report's release
