[]
Just The News - Not The Noise
On the heels of President Donald Trump's Tuesday fundraiser in Los Angeles, and with the November midterms less than 100 days away, Washington Republicans hold a commanding financial edge over Washington Democrats that could prove decisive in key races for control of Congress.
The Republican National Committee reported more than $128 million in cash on hand at the end of June with no debt, while the Democratic National Committee had about $16 million in cash and roughly $18.5 million in debt, leaving it in the red.
The disparity extends to other national party committees and aligned super PACs, giving Republicans nearly double the cash of their Democratic counterparts overall, not counting additional resources from groups linked to Trump.
Despite the money disparity between the national parties, Democrats running for office in the November midterms or seeking reelection are successfully raising money.
