DNC Chair Ken Martin Faces Resignation Calls Over Delayed 2024 Autopsy
9 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 27
Ken Martin is under intensifying pressure inside the Democratic Party after releasing the long-delayed review of Democrats’ 2024 loss, with some party figures now openly urging him to step down.
The backlash centers on both the months-long delay and the report’s substance: critics said it omitted major drivers of the defeat, including Gaza, which Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called a major oversight for young voters.
Rep. Mark Veasey said Martin should "move on," while strategist Steve Schale called the rollout "an unmitigated s---show," reflecting broader doubts about the DNC’s competence and direction.
Martin himself distanced the party from the document, writing that he was "not proud" of it and could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the final product.
The scrutiny widened Wednesday when MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Democrats had a 20% approval rating and were being outpaced in fundraising, using the weak standing to argue Martin was failing in the job.
