On his podcast Pod Save America on Tuesday, Jon Favreau grilled Martin, asking the party leader why he reneged on his pledge in February 2025 to release the full autopsy. At the time, Martin said that the DNC had “completed a comprehensive review” of the 2024 presidential election. He even criticized the DNC for not releasing its 2016 autopsy, and said that “of course” the party will release the 2024 report.
But, when confronted by Favreau this week, after blocking the release in December, Martin sang a different tune. Contradicting himself numerous times, Martin said that the party can’t release the report in full because they are focused on putting the lessons of the autopsy in motion, while apparently keeping them secret from the public and even non-senior DNC members.

My guess after listening to the gaslighting little shithead was that the report probably showed that all views under the big tent can’t be equally served to deliver a Democrat victory, so he’s going to pull the same shit of telling one group of voters that the Dems will deliver for them, while telling another group that the Dems will deliver something mutually exclusive of the first group. It sounded like Martin was trying to pander by delivering only what “lessons” he thought each group of organizers needed to hear to win their block of voters without entertaining the idea that Favreau was suggesting that maybe we need to have the messy debate about whether the DNC platform can hold everyone’s positions (and by “everyone” i just mean enough voters to win an election). Or maybe Martin is just a simple man.
