Pluribus AI 2024 Election Autopsy

For Press

Press Kit

The 2024 Election Autopsy is what Pluribus AI's narrative-intelligence practice looks like aimed at one question: why did Democrats lose in 2024? We sat through 258.5 hours of public political commentary across the spectrum, pulled 8,844 claim-level quotes from 98 leading voices with full provenance, and clustered them into the themes the commentary itself was already organized around. The receipts are linked back to the source.

Pull-quotes for press use

Verbatim, attributed, citation-length. Each one links to the moment in the source video — paraphrase at your own risk.

  1. “I do have a problem with the Democratic party, over the last decade, really centering Donald Trump in all of their campaigning — fear-mongering about Trump instead of showing us what the vision for the Democratic party is. What are Democrats going to do for Americans?”

  2. “The Democrats in a 50/50 election had a billion dollars — a war chest to be spent on data analytics, and polling, and consultants, and very clearly texting. There was a lot of texting.”

  3. “In this election cycle we raised upwards of north of $2 billion. Republicans didn't raise as much money — and yet, because they were smarter about the way they allocated their resources, in terms of who spoke to people out in America, here we are.”

  4. “Clearly that message didn't connect with enough people. Maybe it was the wrong closing message to choose with the wrong people. Too many either didn't buy it and didn't show up, or were willing to price in the risk because other issues were more important to them.”
