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.

Ah yes. It was all Kamala’s fault. 🙄

“The report does not address former President Joe Biden’s decision to seek reelection, the rushed selection of Harris to replace him after he dropped out or the party’s acrimonious divide over the war in Gaza.”

There we go. If only she went after more Republican voters and abandoned trans people. Then she would have cinched it.

I’m thinking the reason he dragged his heels releasing it is that it proves that the current DNC leadership still hasn’t learned anything and has no plans to improve.

She makes an excellent fall girl. But that's always been her job within the party. Gotta wonder how a candidate this unqualified made it to California AG, nevermind Presidential nominee.

At some point, she's responsible for her own ambition.
