Story summary
  • DNC Chair Ken Martin faces criticism shortfalls and his refusal to release 2024 election audit; RNC outraised DNC by $9.8 million, holding $116 million versus $13.8 million, and DNC reported $22.1 million cash and $18.4 million debt at March’s end.
  • Martin’s refusal to publish the report fuels frustration, prompting Amanda Litman to say she was approached about replacing him, and DNC co-chair Chris Lowe to defend 50-state spending plan as move for 2028 presidential record.
