The Democratic National Committee has decided that there are no lessons to be learned from the 2024 elections. If anything, it is lining itself up to back a Kamala Harris rerun.

All of the candidates to replace outgoing DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison supported the notion that “racism and misogyny” played a key role in Harris’s electoral defeat, showing that the strategy of blaming voters for being bigots was going to persist no matter who the DNC selected to lead it. The new DNC chairman, Ken Martin, said the party already has “the right message” for voters.
