The Spin

Democrats are finally choosing transparency over damage control. Ken Martin openly admitted he isn't proud of the flawed and incomplete 2024 autopsy, but released the full unedited report anyway because voters deserve honesty after a devastating loss. The real lesson isn’tis endlesslyabout relitigating 2024 — it’s rebuilding trust, reconnecting with working-class voters and modernizing a Democratic Party that can’'t keep running the same campaigns and expect different results.
