Like magic,
the Dems fundraising deficit has largely disappeared.
Democrats are narrowing President Donald Trump’s early spending advantage, with two billionaire White House hopefuls joining established party groups to target the president in key battleground states that are likely to determine the outcome of next year’s election.
Priorities USA and American Bridge, two of the leading Democratic outside groups, are ramping up operations. The organization ACRONYM recently pledged to spend $75 million. And former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has pledged to spend $100 million on ads targeting Trump, while California billionaire Tom Steyer promised $50 million.
This could very well be an election in which Trump and the RNC act as a somewhat traditional money funnel, while the Dems rely on various PACs, outside groups and assorted billionaires.
Can't say this is a good development, but you play by the rules and counter your opponent as best you can.
Amazing what an extra $300M will do.
And realistically, who knows if Bloomberg will really drop $100M or anything close to it, especially if he fails to excite anyone.
Though initially he pledged to spend that to stop Trump, rather than prop up himself.
