The Republican National Committee (RNC) expanded its massive fundraising lead over the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in July as the Democrats posted their worst July haul in a decade.
The DNC raised just $3.8 million in July, compared to the $10.2 million raised by the RNC in the same month. While the GOP has no debt, the DNC added slightly to its debt in July, which now sits at $3.4 million.
The Democrats haven't raised that little money in a July since 2007; the party raised $3.4 million in that month.
The Hill obtained the RNC's fundraising numbers ahead of the party's official filing with the Federal Election Commission, while the DNC posted its figures on Friday.

(54,384 posts)There is limit as to how much one individual can legally contribute--supposedly. But that can be circumvented if you know how to attribute contributions, and that goes for anybody. If the roster of contributors is checked for accuracy, I'm sure a few oddities will show up, but one can hardly expect the Trump administration to enforce that. Even the Sanders campaign was open last year when it revealed that the same individual had made twenty or more $35 contributions (it may have been $30, I don't recall the exact number, but I saw their spreadsheet, which was public info) from the same city in one single day, and that this has happened multiple times. I'm sure the RNC has enough software experts to re-attribute one $3 million contribution to contributions of $10,000 from 300 different donors, 299 of which are completely unaware that they gave anything.
