May 21 (UPI) -- Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin on Thursday released the long-awaited autopsy report about the party's loss in the 2024 election, though he added a caveat that he doesn't stand behind it.

The report was first given to the DNC last fall, but Martin decided not to release it to the public. He published a letter Thursday explaining his reasons.

"When I commissioned a comprehensive review of the 2024 election, I started a process to answer those questions while interrogating where our party has systemically and historically fallen short," Martin said in the letter.

"When I received the report late last year, it wasn't ready for primetime. Not even close. And because no source material was provided, fixing it would have meant starting over, from the beginning -- every conversation, every interview, every data set.
