Dems release long-awaited 2024 election autopsy
Political analyst Brian Sobel joins LiveNOW's Austin Westfall to break down the newly-released 2024 election autopsy report published by the Democratic National Committee. Party chair Ken Martin faced months of pressure to release the report detailing what went wrong in the race. In 2024, then-candidate President Joe Biden dropped out of the race against President Donald Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris was named as the Democratic nominee after Biden's withdrawal from the race. The report received criticism after its release, with party leaders saying it is distracting from the midterms. The beginning of the report also contained an unusual disclaimer, noting that the views reflected in the report do not reflect those of the DNC. Martin has since apologized for the report's release, saying it has made an even bigger distraction for the Democratic Party.
