- The Zelig-like DNC autopsy author
The Democratic National Committee's 2024 election autopsy report was authored by Paul Rivera, a strategist linked to a past New York Senate Democratic leadership crisis. Rivera, who advised former state Senate leader John Sampson (later convicted of fraud), is criticized for his enigmatic role in a dysfunctional Obama-era Senate majority. The report, which omitted key issues like Israel/Gaza and Biden's withdrawal, faced widespread backlash, with calls for DNC Chair Ken Martin's resignation.
