Former Vice President Kamala Harris has urged the Democratic National Committee to release its internal autopsy report on the 2024 presidential election, according to reports from NBC News and Breitbart. The report examines the party's loss to President Donald Trump and has not been made public.
NBC News reported that Harris has been privately consulting with confidants about her own political future. The network wrote, "Amid turmoil over the party’s future, Kamala Harris has been privately sounding out confidants about her own prospects." The DNC's autopsy, sometimes referred to as a postmortem, remains unreleased. NBC News did not specify when these private discussions began or who the confidants are.
Breitbart, in its coverage, stated that Harris reportedly wants the DNC to release what its headline called a "secret 'postmortem' of her failed 2024 campaign." The outlet's article said, "Former Vice President Kamala Harris (D) reportedly wants the Democrat National Committee (DNC) to release its autopsy of the 2024 presidential election in which she lost to President Donald Trump." Breitbart did not name the original source of the report.
Both NBC News and Breitbart, outlets with differing editorial perspectives, reported the same core fact that Harris wants the autopsy released. Neither report provided details on the contents of the autopsy or the DNC's response to Harris's request. The DNC has not issued a public statement on the matter.
The request from Harris, who was the Democratic nominee, underscores ongoing discussions within the party about accountability and strategy. Her private conversations with allies, as reported by NBC News, suggest she is considering her next steps in politics. The turmoil over the party's future, as described by NBC News, follows a contentious election cycle and internal debates over the direction of the Democratic Party.
The 2024 election saw Trump return to the presidency after defeating Harris, who had become the nominee following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race. The autopsy report is expected to offer an official assessment of the campaign's strengths and weaknesses. The term 'postmortem' is commonly used in politics to describe such post-election analyses.
As of now, it remains unclear when or if the DNC will release the document. The situation reflects broader tensions as the Democratic Party seeks to rebuild and define its identity ahead of future elections.
