Bowing to pressure from within its ranks, the Democratic National Committee released on Thursday its long-withheld “autopsy” of Kamala Harris’ loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race – only to quickly disavow it.The report found that Democrats have ceded ground to Trump’s Republicans through underfunding of state parties and a “persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters”.In particular, Democrats underperformed among male voters, non-college voters, irregular voters and rural voters, it said. The report was released less than six months before November’s midterm congressional elections.
