“When I was elected DNC chair, I commissioned an after action review of the 2024 election that I wanted to be honest and transparent, and with actionable and specific takeaways for the future of the Democratic Party. When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime — not even close — and because no source material was provided, it would have meant starting over. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced.”

“After last November’s massive Democratic wins, I didn’t want to create a distraction, but by not putting the report out, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize. For full transparency, I am releasing the report as we received it, in its entirety, unedited and unabridged. It does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards, but I am doing this because people need to be able to trust the Democratic Party and trust our word.”

Let's consider the commentary.... Water is wet. I know it's wet and so do you. I don't need to provide evidence for something that is obvious to everyone.

They definitely should have taken it all the way and said that lacking substance that resonates with workers and middle class Americans, the campaign had no hope.

I'd hope it says that somewhere in the report but honestly I don't feel like wasting the time to read such a document produced by a group of people that don't represent my interests.
