The Republican Party is running short on cash, worrying party members, Trump advisers, and other operatives involved in the 2024 election, according to the Washington Post:
The Republican National Committee disclosed that it had $9.1 million in cash on hand as of Oct. 30, the lowest amount for the RNC in any Federal Election Commission report since February 2015. That compares with about $20 million at the same point in the 2016 election cycle and about $61 million four years ago, when Trump was in the White House.
The Democratic National Committee reported having $17.7 million as of Oct. 30, almost twice as much as the Republican Party, with one year before the election.
“It’s a revenue problem,” Tennessee RNC member Oscar Brock said. “We’re going through the same efforts we always go through to raise money: the same donor meetings, retreats, digital advertising, direct mail. But the return is much lower this year. If you know the answer, I’d love to know it. The staff has managed to tighten down on expenses to keep the party from going into the red.”
Oh dear. It sounds like no one likes them anymore! This is such a dilemma for the GOP.
My guess is, they will solve this problem by ramping up their voter suppression efforts to make up for the fact that they can't turn out their own base.
