Autopsy Author Says Democrats Left Out Key Chapter, DNC Chair Denies It
Rivera said the missing chapter blamed Joe Biden’s reelection bid and party disconnect, while Martin denied the section was ever delivered.
- On Monday, The New York Times reported that DNC autopsy author Paul Rivera claims a chapter he hand-delivered to DNC chair Ken Martin in January was omitted from the party's May report, an allegation Martin denies.
- The Democratic National Committee released the lengthy draft autopsy in May, though it faced criticism for spelling errors, factual inaccuracies, and failing to interview key staffers from campaigns of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
- According to the missing chapter titled 'What Happened,' President Joe Biden's decision to seek reelection and the financial status of campaign operatives contributed to the party's election loss, with operatives seeming disconnected from Americans.
- "If we had this in May, we would have released it with the rest of the report," Martin told The Times, as he faces mounting pressure to resign over the party's dire financial situation.
- This dispute exacerbates internal friction within the Democratic party as leaders grapple with accountability and the upcoming midterm elections, following concerns that staff were too privileged to grasp everyday Americans' struggles.
