RNC fundraising surges while DNC has worst April since 2009

In April the Republican National Committee raised more than double what the Democratic National Committee brought in during the same period, making last month the DNC’s worst April since 2009, the Washington Examiner reports. So much for the “resistance” movement against President Trump. New Federal Election Commission (FEC) data show the DNC raised $4.7 million in April. “While this is an off-year for fundraising, the DNC hauled $8.5 million last year, and nearly $5 million in 2015. Between 2010 and 2014, the Democrats received anywhere from $6.3 million to $14.4 million per year.”

It appears the “unity tour” embarked on by new DNC chairman Tom Perez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) didn’t help. Perhaps it even hurt fundraising for Democrats. The RNC took in $9.6 million last month and has $41 million in cash on hand. The DNC reports having $8.8 million on hand. It is entirely possible that Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action group hoovered up cash that otherwise could have found its way to DNC coffers.
