Scoop: Senior Dems want to hold a rare national convention before the 2026 midterms to showcase candidates. DNC chair Ken Martin has been quietly pushing the idea this week. Such “mini-conventions” used to be common but not in recent decades.

It's also been standard practice for the DNC to step in financially after a campaign — win or lose. Barack Obama left the DNC in worse shape after his 2012 re-election, and the debt wasn't settled until 2015. But just cuz it’s standard doesn’t mean it’s ideal for the party.

The other side: Some Harris allies believe other Democrats are pointing fingers at the former vice president to try to deflect blame from the new DNC chair, Ken Martin. They argue Martin hasn't focused enough on fundraising as he has bolstered his public profile at events.

Dems have asked Harris and her team to hold more fundraisers and call more donors to solicit contributions to help pay off the expenses, but her allies believe she's done her part. Harris has allowed the DNC to continue using her email list to help raise money and has held a few.

New: Democrats are still paying for Kamala Harris' loss to Donald Trump last year — literally. The DNC has paid more than $15 million toward paying off Harris 2024 campaign expenses in the first 6 months of 2025. My look into the party finger-pointing.

Opening the first general session as DNC chair, Ken Martin says that Trump's second term is "Fascism dressed in a red tie….we are the only things standing in his way.". Then talks about high prices and quips that even the price of getting a meeting with Trump is going up.
