RNC raises record-setting $23.5M in August, as GOP momentum builds
Foxnews ^

EXCLUSIVE: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is expected to announce this week that it raised a record-setting $23.5 million in August and had $53.8 million cash on hand as of the end of that month -- signaling growing GOP momentum heading into the 2020 elections.

It isn't unusual for a committee to perform well when its party controls the White House. But, even accounting for that advantage, the RNC's numbers were significant: the August fundraising total was the highest recorded in August during an off-cycle year by either the RNC or DNC, and the RNC has not had as much cash on hand since September 2016, just before Election Day.

The RNC's figures included only money directly contributed to the committee and did not include money contributed to any other joint committee.

DNC fundraising has lagged behind the RNC this year. The Democrats raised just $7.7 million in July while the RNC brought in $20.8 million, according to FEC filings. The DNC, meanwhile, closed out July with a little over $9 million in cash, filings showed.

The Trump campaign and RNC have pulled in a combined $210 million since the start of 2019, FEC records showed. That’s more than all the current Democrats seeking to replace Trump raised combined during that period.

What the GOP needs is the President’s fighting spirit.

Gee...the GOP should be heavily taxed and the bounty spread to the DNC in the name of “equality”. /s

“What the GOP needs is the President’s fighting spirit.”

You get between them and their donors and you’ll see what fighting spirit is.

Colorado could use a candidate with some back bone and able to speak.

Mitt’s ‘wayward’ Niece Ronna, has been very good for the republican party. She meant what she said about wanting to help this president and this GOP build up a war chest of funds. Meanwhile, Tommy Perez is a Blue Party leader who stays financially in the red.

That clown show put on in Congress today by Nadler etal further added to the momentum prompting RNC fund raising. Thanks Jerry.

Republicans should not get overconfident about this. It may be that a lot of leftist PAC’s are raising a lot of money from the likes of Soros, Steyer, Bloomberg, etc.
