It looks like the DNC must have a hard time raising money in the age of Trump, which doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense considering how vocal the opposition to Trump is these days:
TOWNHALL – It’s no secret the Democrat National Committee has been struggling since the 2016 presidential election, when former Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz rigged the primary in favor of two-time loser Hillary Clinton, to raise money ahead of the 2018 midterms.
But the red ink for current DNC Chair Tom Perez keeps getting deeper. The DNC is $6 million in debt and according to FEC records, just took out another $2 million loan to keep daily office activities operational.
Meanwhile, the RNC is still smashing fundraising records with Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel at the helm.
The RNC raised $12.8 million in February and $157.7 million overall in the 2017-2018 cycle. It is a record for a non-election year.
The RNC is also destroying the DNC on small donations.
I would expect the opposite to be true, at least to some degree, especially in an election year that could tip the balance of Congress.
I’m sure Trump, however, will help out the DNC’s fundraising efforts when he tweets about this in the next few days.
