"Carville tore into Martin's reasons for not releasing the report, arguing a breakdown of how money was spent needs to be out there for the public to view and Democrats to learn key lessons. You're sitting on it because you might hurt somebody's feelings. You're supposed to have your feelings hurt when you lose. You're supposed to feel bad about it. You're not supposed to like it. You're not supposed to cover it up, he said."
"DNC Chair Ken Martin was pressed on Pod Save America last month on his flip-flop about releasing the report, which he previously said would be made public. Well look, I mean, what I said all along, even when I ran for this position, is that we were going to focus on the things that will help us win the upcoming election, right? Making sure that we learn the right lessons that could help inform our victories, and that's what we've done."
"We said this when we sent out the press release back in November, saying we weren't going to release the report, we were actually going to keep our focus on those lessons, and we released those lessons. We continue to do that, Martin explained.

"When an airplane crashes, the last thing anybody says, Let's not look back. Let's just look forward.' No, Carville said. Carville offered the Democratic National Committee a lesson in losing as he trashed their failure to release a 2024 election autopsy report as too stupid for words. Both Hunt and Carville backed calls for the report to be released."
Calls have been made for the Democratic National Committee to release a 2024 election autopsy report after losing the presidential election. Kamala Harris has reportedly indicated privately to donors that she supports releasing the report. Both Al Hunt and James Carville backed the release. DNC Chair Ken Martin said the party would focus on lessons that could help win the upcoming election and that the report would not be released. Carville criticized that approach, arguing that public accountability requires a breakdown of how money was spent and that covering up mistakes is wrong. He said losing should involve feeling bad and learning, not protecting feelings.
