A leaked finding from the Democratic National Committee’s internal 2024 election autopsy reveals that the Biden administration’s handling of the Gaza conflict cost Kamala Harris a significant number of votes. Party leaders have kept this report private, but the leak points directly to the war as a major factor in her loss to President Trump.
According to Axios, the report concluded that the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel was a “net-negative” in the 2024 election. This policy drained support from younger voters and progressives, directly hurting the party’s overall performance. The finding helps explain why the DNC chose not to release the report publicly.
