not interested in being a protest candidate or backing any, @aoc has been drilling into data & where she resonates. Her win record is big (incl: Rabb, Forstag, Villegas), but who she hasn't backed is also a choice (incl: Platner, Steyer, Chakrabarti): cnn.com/2026/06/11/politics/…

NEW from me: expect to see a lot of more @AOC campaigning this fall, as she road tests her appeal and her appetite for her 2028 options. With details about what she’s been doing in figuring out endorsements, building bridges back in DC… and knitting: cnn.com/2026/06/11/politics/…

NEW from me: after his (yet again uncontested) primary win, I talked with Josh Shapiro on what how he says Pennsylvania proves a lot of the posters and pundits wrong when it comes to calling him too centrist, too buttoned up and too Zionist cnn.com/2026/06/01/politics/…

There was a lot of speculation that the DNC autopsy would get into how Gaza affected voters in the 2024 election. Reality: major players on both sides were never asked, nor were top campaign staff for Harris or Biden. cnn.com/2026/05/21/politics/…

CNN's @IsaacDovere obtained the draft of the DNC's 2024 autopsy report that the party chair was hoping would stay hidden forever. He joined the Inside Politics panel reporting that many felt the draft report was "at best incomplete, if not wrong or contorted."

re these talking points the DNC is sending out calling release of the report "a good first step" ... as detailed in my story from this morning, the DNC had *no* plans to release the report until informed of CNN reporting that would detail its contents: cnn.com/2026/05/21/politics/…
NEWS - DNC is sharing private messaging guidance w/ state party chairs, urging them to reassert their confidence in his leadership. "Do you have confidence to in Ken Martin's ability to serve as DNC chairman?" (sample q in email) "I am fully confident in his leadership." "Releasing the report in full is a good first step."

Jane Kleeb, Nebraska Democratic Party Chair, and president of the Association of State Democratic Committees: "The DNC 2024 Report is out. A good move by Chair Martin. Democrats don’t win by avoiding hard truths - we win by facing them and getting to work. State parties are already doing exactly that, using the DNC Playbook to organize, support candidates, and build the infrastructure that wins elections. Not just in the swing states everyone obsesses over. In every state, every territory, and every race on the ballot. We don’t have our surfboards out waiting for a blue wave. We have clipboards out, ready to elect Democrats in record numbers this November - and protect the people in our states from reckless and cruel Republicans."
You wanted to see the long hidden DNC autopsy report of the 2024 election loss. Here it is, and the convoluted never reported story of how it became an existential crisis of Ken Martin. The autopsy of the autopsy: cnn.com/2026/05/21/politics/…

Asked Sen. Brian Schatz how he thought the DNC autopsy was handled. “Poorly,” he told me. He said keeping it private gave the "implication that they were hiding something."
just some of the people who were not spoken to for the DNC's autopsy of the 2024 election include... (also on this list, top campaign aides like Quentin Fulks, Michael Tyler, Ian Sams and Liz Allen, or Biden aides Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal). cnn.com/2026/05/21/politics/…

.@JaredEMoskowitz just now on CNN about our autopsy reporting: "An autopsy is a medical procedure you do over a corpse. Now it sounds like we need a malpractice attorney."

Ken Martin: "I sincerely apologize. ... I am releasing the report as we received it, in its entirety, unedited & unabridged. It does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards, but I am doing this b/c people need to be able to trust the Dem Party & trust our word.”
