The Trump campaign is broke

Link to tweet

“It’s also telling that while the Biden campaign triumphantly announced a record-shattering $365 million haul for August, the Trump campaign has been notably silent.

I’d like to add: don’t be fooled. Republicans always have more money than Democrats for most things. But there is lot of money on the left, it just all gets funneled into high profile campaigns. Hillary raised about $1B and so will Biden.

If only we could take just $100M of that and direct it to Democratic institution-building. Instead, Biden will be flush now and next year DC statehood and judicial reform and anti-Fox and anti-Facebook efforts will starve. Dems need to build institutions.
