Summary

The Democratic National Committee’s now-released 2024 autopsy came with a few predictable omissions: the New Democrat Party agenda. Why? Because the Jacobin wing of the party refuses to believe that’s why Democrats lost so decisively in 2024. They believed that a war on fossil fuels, open-border policies that let in 10 million-plus illegal aliens, allowing men to compete in women’s sports, and the nature of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan were all great policies worth recognition, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words. “So, in conclusion, if the autopsy wanted to be accurate, it would have done this. We lost the 2024 campaign because we had a radical agenda that reflects the Jacobin neo-socialism of the new party. For us to get elected on a national basis, we have to hide that agenda.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Signal podcast, where we provide intelligence for the intelligent.
0:05.1	Now, without further ado, here's today's take.
0:16.3	Hello, this is Victor Davis Hansen for The Daily Signal.
0:21.4	The Democrats have an autopsy report that was just released that supposedly would explain why they lost the 2024 election.
0:32.3	They were shocked.
0:33.2	Remember the NPR poll, for example, on the eve of the election, said that Kamala Harris was beyond the measure of error.
0:44.0	In other words, she was ahead by more than three points just before the balloting began.
0:50.3	Remember the Iowa poll that said that Kamala Harris was going to win by three points,
0:57.5	and she lost by eight or nine, I think.
1:01.5	So the point is they were shocked, and they wanted to know what happened.
1:05.6	And they should want to know what happened because they had more money.
1:10.2	She raised a billion dollars. If you look at
1:12.0	the aggregate Biden-Harris total campaign chess, they outraised Donald Trump by a billion dollars.
1:20.8	Donald Trump was also for much of 2022, 23, and 24 sideline off the campaign trail dealing with five criminal and civil
1:31.6	lawfare suits. So they thought they should have won. And that's in addition to the media.
1:36.7	You remember the debate with J.D. Vance and Tim Walts and Joe Biden and Camero Harris with
1:43.8	Donald Trump.
1:44.9	The moderators were more or less on the side of the Democrats.
1:48.2	So they had all these advantages, support, and they lost.
1:52.1	And they wanted to know why.
1:54.1	Well, you and I know why they did, because they had an agenda.
1:58.5	And what was that agenda?
