Here are the July fundraising numbers for the six major party committees (June numbers are here):
| Committee | July Receipts | Spent (July) | Cash-on-Hand | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCCC | $3,200,439 | $2,731,428 | $10,200,847 | $5,333,333 |
| NRCC | $3,084,225 | $3,233,232 | $4,011,003 | $2,750,000 |
| DSCC | $2,042,206 | $2,860,936 | $7,150,000 | $3,330,000 |
| NRSC | $2,758,401 | $2,629,713 | $4,430,000 | $0 |
| DNC | $9,288,128 | $5,994,202 | $16,324,499 | $5,129,061 |
| RNC | $6,261,900 | $8,108,401 | $21,847,778 | $0 |
These numbers just aren’t good enough for a party with an overwhelming majority in both chambers.
So on the D side, that’s a grand total of cash minus debt of something like $19.9 million. On the R side, $27.5 million.
Not terribly far off. But how long do we have to wait before the D side actually has a net cash advantage?
Don’t like these numbers much. DNC did very good, that I like, but the Congressional fundraising is very soft. No reason for it to be that low and that close to Republicans considering our large majorities.
increasing its debt? What is it spending the money on?
