Autopsy on the 2024 defeat
To: Members of the Democratic National Committee
Along with thousands of Democratic candidates and millions of Americans who volunteer and donate to the party, you do not have access to the autopsy that the DNC commissioned to assess what went wrong in 2024. To help fill that void, you can read the autopsy report titled “How Democrats Lost the White House.”
DemocraticAutopsy.org
That autopsy, provided by RootsAction, focuses on such key points as:
- Losing 6.8 million voters who supported Joe Biden in 2020 proved pivotal in the close 2024 election. Inability to mobilize those pro-Biden voters was a massive failure.
- With huge numbers of Americans feeling desperate because of rising costs, the Kamala Harris campaign lost this Democratic base by bowing to corporate donors’ interests and failing to challenge the impact of corporate greed in escalating inflation.
- The Democratic ticket lost many voters – especially young people, Arab-Americans and Muslim Americans, with sizable consequences in Michigan and other swing states – due to Harris’s refusal to indicate any openness to shifting her policy position on Israel and Palestine.
- Extensive evidence shows a vast drop-off in Democratic support among young voters aged 18-29.
We think you’ll find this autopsy to be highly informative and acutely relevant to the challenges ahead.
