From FOX:
(dispute the info if you must)
Fundraising has exploded for the GOP, with the Republican National Committee reporting it hauled in $25.3 million during October and had $61.4 million in the hopper at month's end.
In contrast, the Democrat party machine brought in a mere $9 million. At the end of last month, the Democratic National Committee was $7 million in debt and had only $8.7 million in the kitty.
Uh, most DEM fundraising is going to individual candidates, not the DNC.
So more like contextualize, than dispute.
Out of the nine Democrats who have announced their third-quarter fundraising totals, Sen. Bernie Sanders leads the pack with $25.3 million followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren with $24.6 million and Mayor Pete Buttigieg with $19.1 million.
On the GOP side, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee announced raising a combined $125 million for President Donald Trump's re-election campaign in the third quarter.
So that's $70M for those 3. Add in Biden ($15M) and Harris ($11M) Booker ($6M) and it's right around $100M. Plus some other minor candidates. Add in maybe $25M for the DNC in those 3 months (we only have a 1 month total of $9M, so I conservatively less than tripled that).
And Voila! The DEM fundraising is right around $125M = to what the RNC/Trump pulled in.
So you can pretend there is some great disparity in fundraising when it's really rather equal. Just that DEM money is going to the primary process. So right now there is a general election disparity. But for now folks will naturally continue to fund primary candidates over general election general funding.
Moreover:
Notably, Sanders and Warren are the only two candidates who have completely sworn off not just PAC money but all private, high-dollar fundraisers and are completely relying on grassroots donations,
So there should be plenty of untapped corporate and high-$ donors on the Left that the DNC can appeal to later.
But overall, this is one of the advantages of incumbency. Folks want to give money to the guy in power, and he doesn't have to waste time running or spending money on a primary challenge.
So free to fundraise away.
