Facing intense internal pressure, DNC releases post-election autopsy

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin released a long-delayed 192-page post-election autopsy on Thursday after facing intense internal pressure from party operatives. The report identifies key failures including reduced support for state parties, voter registration issues, and the party's failure to connect with Middle America and Southern voters. Martin apologized for initially shelving the report, acknowledging that keeping it hidden created a larger distraction than releasing it would have.
