Former DNC chair tells CNN Democrats 'haven't done a damn thing' to organize grassroots campaign

Former DNC chair Howard Dean told CNN's Kasie Hunt on Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump deserved credit for his team's organization efforts on the ground while discussing how he won the 2024 election. 

Hunt asked Dean to diagnose the problem that was "clearly revealed" on Election Day, as Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris. As of Thursday morning, Trump has 292 electoral votes, compared to Harris' 226.  

"The problem is we haven't done a damn thing since 2008 about getting out into the grassroots," he said.
