After the publication of an error-ridden 2024 election autopsy, a report that was supposed to explain why Democrats so dramatically underperformed that presidential cycle, the Washington Examiner reached out to more than 50 elected or formally elected party members last week to ascertain their support for Martin.Some of those Democrats are expected to launch their own presidential campaigns next year.
But by close of business Friday, despite re-upped communication, only three, all through spokespeople or other representatives, replied.
Of the elected Democrats, the Washington Examiner contacted lawmakers in the House and Senate who are in competitive races ahead of this November’s midterm elections, from Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), in addition to the Democrats contesting Senate seats in the battleground states of Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Ohio.
Only a spokesman for Gluesenkamp Perez responded.
“Thank you for reaching out but we don’t have anything for you in this,” he told the Washington Examiner.
