Overview
- The completed review, built on more than 300 interviews across all 50 states, will remain internal at the direction of Chair Ken Martin.
- Critics, including some Democrats, say sealing the findings limits accountability and keeps lessons confined to insiders.
- Reported conclusions describe underinvestment in innovative digital tools and weak reach to young voters as Trump’s influencer network outpaced Democrats online.
- Internal findings also fault resource management, a disorganized field program, one‑way digital outreach, and messaging that did not adequately address voter concerns on public safety and immigration.
- Scrutiny persists over big‑money groups such as Future Forward, with the New York Times reporting its affiliated nonprofit raised over $600 million in 2024 and some Democrats questioning its ad strategy and timing.
