Donors have not cut as many large checks to the RNC in recent years, and the party’s small-dollar program has also suffered
The Republican Party’s finances are increasingly worrisome to party members, advisers to former president Donald Trump, and other operatives involved in the 2024 election effort, according to 10 people familiar with the matter.
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.
I guess Rubles don’t go as far as they used to…
Lotsa their small dollar donators died during the covid pandemic. The rest are getting fucked over like the rest of us, but haven’t realized it’s the Republican tax cuts and deregulation that are doing it to them.
Boo fucking hoo. Donations should be capped.
Also, elections shouldn’t be this long. It’s insanely polarizing that we have to be bombarded constantly.
Exhausting, and downright Abusive at this point

The trouble with running an anti-establishment populist is that the base he attracts doesn’t trust establishments like the Republican Party. They all gave their money to the Save America PAC and the Trump Campaign, and Trump spent it on his personal legal fees.
The amount he’s spent from donors should be discussed way more. Remember he’s a super successful business man, he shouldn’t need any help right? 🤔
Most billionaires get rich by spending other people’s money.
Namely, daddy’s.

He isn’t the only one that been caught dipping into the campaign funds. Even if you were totally a Republican you shouldn’t donate because that’s likely to just be stolen by a bunch of criminals. My god the rest of us all know this. I’m just surprised their donors seem to maybe be catching on.
And not to mention the ‘establishment’ donators watched as the RNC used their donations to fund Trump legal fees until shit really started hitting the fan.

Saudis and Russians will be pouring in their $upport at any moment
That and you can expect them to reduce oil production in the run up to the election.
I’m shocked the numbers are so small. It sounds like any billionaire could buy enough ads to drown out everything else with nothing more than their pocket change.
This is to the party itself, and more specifically the RNC. This doesn’t include donations to individual campaigns, nor things like super PAC money, which are often many times greater.
