The Republican National Committee (RNC) posted strong fundraising numbers for June, surpassing the cash-strapped Democratic National Committee (DNC) for another month in a row.
RNC officials reported almost $14 million in fundraising in June, compared to just $8 million raised by Democrats during that time. The party remains far ahead of the DNC in to-date fundraising totals for this cycle, enjoying a lead of almost $100 million in total funds raised, according to The Washington Post.
Democrats ended June with just $9 million cash on hand and $6.3 million in debt, according to the Post. That's compared to a much larger $50.7 million cash on hand for Republicans.
The RNC's strong month of fundraising in June followed a record-high fundraising month in May, when Republicans raised more than $10 million and set records for fundraising in an off-year election.
Democrats, meanwhile, suffered through their worst May fundraising levels in more than a decade as the party's chairman Tom Perez defiantly vowed to double the DNC's budget from $50 to $100 million this year.
"Well again, I got there on March 1. And so, I was the first to say, 'We have a lot of rebuilding to do,'" Perez told NBC's Hallie Jackson last month.
Cash problems are not the DNC's only problem heading in to the 2018 midterms. Despite an in-state cash advantage in Georgia, Democrats lost a special election for a Georgia House seat in the most expensive race in history earlier this year, costing at least $40 million dollars.
Democrats are hoping to retake the House, where they face a 23-seat deficit, and the Senate, where they face a two-seat deficit, in November.
A generic House ballot survey earlier this month showed Democrats with a 10-point advantage for control of the lower chamber.

Despite the spin effort by the partisan media shill who swilled this out for The Hill, not bad. Thanks yesthatjallen.
Or that the nutcase Tom Steyer is donating to Martians and little green men instead?
Or that Hollywood rapists and abusers are saving their cash to pay off their many victims?
LOL - poor democrats...
Does this mean Soros is going broke?

He may be an SOB, a rotten liar, a no good scoundrel and out and out thief BUT he didn’t get to amass his ‘fortune’ by being stupid.
Possibly he is looking around and finally figuring out that giving money to this crop of LIBs is like arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while she is slipping under the waves.
The RNC and DNC are NOT the principal fund-raisers for campaigns. The RNC is the RINO Establishment.
For House races, the National Republican Congressional Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are the fundraisers. Dems are doing just fine.
Dems are a somewhat behind in Senate campaign committee fundraising, but only because they’re defending many more seats.
“GOP should also spend money to investigate and expose DNC dark money and what it’s doing”
That would be awkward. The GOP-E depends as much on dark money to defeat conservatives in primaries as the Dems.
