Top Democratic officials who worked on the party’s still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration’s approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

The Democratic National Committee’s research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided last year to hide it from the public — a reflection of how explosively it could resonate within the party and beyond.

Axios independently verified that Democratic officials conducting the autopsy believed the issue harmed the party’s standing with some voters.

The IMEU Policy Project is now accusing the DNC of withholding its report in part because of its findings on Israel.

    The aphorism the kids are using nowadays is “fork found in kitchen”.

    I’m not in the US so I didn’t know the stats with this but since Lyndon Johnson, no democrat has been elected president with more than 50% of their voters being white.

    Carter was close with ~48%

          It is definitely false. During Genocide Joe

          70% of all structures in Gaza were damaged or destroyed 92% of all housing units destroyed or damaged 88% of school buildings were damaged or destroyed 80% of key water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities Only 16 out of 36 hospitals were partially functioning, facing critical shortages of fuel, medicine, and clean water. 75% of agricultural land, including orchards and greenhouses, was damaged or destroyed

          Harris is on tape promising unconditional support to the terrorist state of Israel. Biden blamed the lack of a cease fire on Hamas when he knew very well that is it Israel the problem. He provided diplomatic cover for the murder of Hind Rajab

          The Palestinians do not give a damn about your trashy country, your trashy electoral systems and your trashy excuses. If you voted for democrats or republicans you are complicit

          A reminder that the biggest american-israeli deal happened during Obama a democrat and that is just before he left office so the excuse that opposing Israel is a political career suicide can’t apply

          it’s like ice; it’s always been getting worse, but you’re only made aware of it once it becomes blue team fodder whenever it the red team takes control.

    After action reports only count if :

    there is a real effort to address problems ( there isn’t)

    that can be solved ( impossible to have most USA politicians be anti genocide)

    where votes are counted accurately ( most states fail United Nations standards)

    when all voters are allowed to freely vote( who knows how that will be?)

    Where the popular vote wins ( electoral college wins)

    And elections can lead to more wealth and health for the majority of the population. ( it cannot)

      They probably wanted a study and report because it’s one thing to have a hypothesis, it’s another to get actual data and prove it. Hopefully they got a comprehensive report and will actually act on the results. Arguably they should have gotten good data on what their constituents want BEFORE the election.

    What was the point of the report if we knew going in what it would say, and there was no desire to act on the findings?
