Democrats call for DNC chair Ken Martin to resign

politicsApr 30, 202625180

Several Democratic leaders and organizers are demanding Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin resign after he refused to release the DNC's 2024 autopsy report. Critics also fault Martin for outreach decisions, including not prioritizing Black voter engagement in Texas and for endorsing and fundraising with candidate Platner before the primary concluded. Amanda Litman, president of Run for Something, said withholding the paid autopsy undermines voter trust and accountability, while some state parties defend Martin, saying DNC investments helped grow their operations despite a cash disadvantage. The dispute matters because the autopsy would guide reforms for future campaigns and the leadership fight could weaken donor confidence and coordination ahead of the 2026 cycle.

Fuck Ken Martin so hard.

Thank you. I am livid. First his attack on (((AIPAC))) and now he kneecaps the 2 non nazi Dems like Costello still in the race.

I left a vm. I want an explanation, and the quality of that explanation will determine whether I want just Ken Martin’s resignation, or the resignations of every single member of leadership.

I will call them tomorrow as well. Completely unacceptable.

I've called today and will continue to call daily. Endorsing Platner when Costello hadnt dropped out is so effing wrong.

Why is DNC head Ken Martin behaving like Trump behaves with the Epstein Files when it comes to the 2024 "Autopsy Report"? I have a theory & it's only that, a theory. I think it says Dems lost in 2024 due to their stance on Israel & Palestinian. Can't anger AIPAC after all youtu.be/vBFfWHIvA50?...

The entire leadership of the Democratic Party needs to resign. From Schumer (Durbin & Klobachar are leaving the senate), to Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark, caucus chairs Pete Aguilar & Ted Lieu in the house, and especially the entire DNC leadership team, who are an abysmal failure. DNC 💁🏼‍♀️

Don't just be angry on line. Be angry in real life. (Not at the hapless staffer answering the phone, please. Unless Ken Martin answers.)

Same. And normally I'm really not into hashtags but #KenMartinResign needs to trend. I will not be part of a party that does this to their loyal base.

Ken Martin should resign. From his beleaguered internal leadership to allowing Platner to run. He can't even talk the talk. Much less walk the walk.

I was defending Ken Martin but ever since Texas’s “white dude more electable” thing wasn’t called out & outreach to Black voters there wasn’t made a priority followed by endorsing/fundraising off Platner before the primary was even over I’m pretty disgusted.

@schumer.senate.gov Very seriously do not endorse the Nazi in Maine. I know you haven't but the GOP is already using this. Also, pressure Ken Martin to resign. Thank you.

@reneepatrice.bsky.social

Are you fucking kidding me? Since WHEN does the party endorse before a primary?!?! If the DNC under Ken Martin is endorsing Nazi, racist, homophobic, rape-apologizists, I want no part of the Dem party. KEN MARTIN MUST RESIGN.

Additionally, Ken Martin, our DNC chair, is withholding the 2024 election audit after complaining that the previous DNC chair didn’t release the 2016 audit. His reason for refusing to release it was utter bullshit. It could be that Martin is COMPROMISED and serving the regime. Just what we need…

Ken Martin, you are an ATROCIOUS Chair of the DNC! @kenmartin.bsky.social You blather about “learning lessons” but by refusing to release the 2024 Election Analysis Report so that We the People can SEE those lessons! WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE VOTERS, Ken! RELEASE the fucking report! It’s OUR report!
