Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

The Democratic National Committee’s examination of what went wrong in the 2024 election is expected to mostly steer clear of the decisions made by the Biden-turned-Harris campaign and will focus more heavily instead on actions taken by allied groups, according to interviews with six people briefed on the report’s progress.
The audit, which the committee is calling an “after-action review,” is expected to avoid the questions of whether former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. should have run for re-election in the first place, whether he should have exited the race earlier than he did and whether former Vice President Kamala Harris was the right choice to replace him, according to the people briefed on the process so far.
Nor is the review expected to revisit key decisions by the Harris campaign — like framing the election as a choice between democracy and fascism, and refraining from hitting back after an ad by Donald J. Trump memorably attacked Ms. Harris on transgender rights by suggesting that she was for “they/them” while Mr. Trump was “for you” — that have roiled Democrats in the months since Mr. Trump took back the White House.
What an innovative approach! I am far less hostile to the institutions of the Democratic Party than a lot of folks here (or on Bluesky, for that matter) but it’s tough for me to say what the point of this is… I suppose there’s some value in looking at the decisions that are least likely to be replicated (Biden’s not going to be President again, for example), but nevertheless it’s hard for me to understand how you disaggregate the general failure from its most significant causes.
