NEW YORK (AP) — Kamala Harris “wrote off rural America” during the 2024 presidential campaign and failed to attack Donald Trump with sufficient “negative firepower,” according to a long-awaited post-election autopsy released on Thursday by the Democratic National Committee.

The committee’s chair, Ken Martin, shared the 192-page report only after facing intense internal pressure from frustrated Democratic operatives concerned with his leadership. Martin had originally promised to release the autopsy, only to keep it under wraps for months because he was concerned it would be a distraction ahead of the midterms as Democrats mobilize to take back control of Congress.

yeah I have plenty of gripes with the DNC but having the vice president run in the presidents place when he stepped down is not one of them. Honestly the whole super delegate thing bothers me way more than that one thing.

they changed the convention rules for superdelegate in 2017, now they don't even get to vote for the nominee unless the pledged delegates can't elect a nominee in the first round of voting at the convention. Not that the superdelegates even mattered in 2016, as Hillary won the popular primary vote and had enough pledged delegates.
