Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin faced backlash from members of his own party, including calls for his resignation, the day after he released the party’s long-delayed 2024 election autopsy and distanced himself from its findings.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) Moulton told Axios that Martin “should resign,” citing what he called a lack of leadership and an inexcusable delay in publishing the report. The Epoch Times was unable to verify his remarks, and his office did not respond to a request for comment.
