Several major Democratic donors declined the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) invitation to host a California fundraiser featuring former Vice President Kamala Harris, with one reportedly responding with a “profanity-laced rejection,” the Washington Free Beacon reports. According to the Wall Street Journal, while the DNC eventually secured a host, the event raised significantly less than expected.
Many potential hosts cited scheduling conflicts or said they wanted to see clearer, more effective election strategies before donating again. The rejection comes amid steep financial struggles for the DNC, which entered October with about $12 million in cash on hand—far less than the Republican National Committee’s $86 million.
The Democratic Party has been riven by internal disputes and growing dissatisfaction with DNC chairman Ken Martin’s leadership. Some party insiders have described Martin as “weak and whiny” and “invisible,” and several high-ranking members, including former vice chair David Hogg and two prominent labor leaders, have left the committee over disagreements about its direction under Martin.
Adding to the unrest, insurgent Democratic candidates are openly challenging establishment figures such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, promising to wage an aggressive campaign against what they perceive as a stagnant party elite.
Donor frustration also stems from dissatisfaction with how funds were used during the previous presidential election—particularly spending on consultants in Washington, D.C. Rachel Pritzker, a major Democratic contributor and relative of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, criticized the party for failing to reevaluate its approach following its electoral defeat. “It is shocking how little reassessment the party and its leadership has done,” Pritzker said.
Still not admitting that the big donors dislike the growing power of the far left in their party and how little the old guard is doing to stop them.
RIP DemocRaT Party
The woman is about as popular as chlamydia.
CC
she didn’t chase them on her knees?
Chlamydia is easier to get rid of.
That is quite true!😁

Did they ax Lizzo or Oprah to gibs back some money?
Need big donor money. Big money bad, share the wealth. F capitalists.
or said they wanted to see clearer, more effective election strategies before donating again.
Obviously there is one reason for this and one reason only: they are racists!
WAsting $1.5B on a failed election tends to keep donors away!
“Scam-ala” needs to go somewhere and read a book....ANY book!
The real grifter. The Kackler
These rich donors obviously hate:
—Women
—Blacks
—Indians
—Whores
—Idiots
—Liars
—Word salad speakers
Lol.
I’ll bet she hasn’t even read her own book.
Rachel Pritzker said “It is shocking how little reassessment the party and its leadership has done.”
BS. They did a lot of naval gazing and doubled-down on communism, pro-illegal, and pro-crime.
I told them they’d be in big trouble when they fired Davey Hogg, but they wouldn’t listen.
And this is an issue of importance for all of us. The fat cats know the revolutionaries’ will come for them in due course. Step one is the find leaders among the ruling elite who are willing to try to stand up to the crazies, then pour money into the incumbent. Remember AOC got in with a very small number of votes in the primary, because the incumbent didn’t bother to campaign. They, justifiably I think, thought Cuomo would mop the floor with Mandami in the primary. They need to be a lot more in the ball. None of us are well served by a violent revolutionary faction seizing control of the rat party. Even if we beat them at the ballot box because of their radicalism, their willingness to use violence will tear us apart
