Overview
- Axios reports that senior Democrats who worked on the still‑unreleased 2024 autopsy concluded the Biden administration’s Gaza posture was a net negative for Kamala Harris.
- DNC aides held a closed‑door meeting with the IMEU Policy Project, whose representatives say party staff acknowledged internal data showing the issue cost support.
- The DNC confirms it consulted advocacy groups as part of the review and is keeping the report private, while denying it is being withheld because of the Israel findings.
- Reviewers attributed the damage chiefly to younger and progressive voters, with reporting pointing to narrow defeats in states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania.
- Kamala Harris has since said the administration should have spoken more publicly about its criticism of Israel’s conduct, as activists press for the autopsy’s release ahead of the midterms.
