Ruh Roh. Republicans Are Running Out of Money.

As we await the September fundraising numbers for the Harris/Walz campaign (which I’m sure will be massive), it seems that the Senate and House Republicans are having a cash flow problem:

Senate and House Republicans have openly sounded the alarm on their fundraising disparity. And the executive director of the NRSC warned that if they didn’t close the gap soon, the party would lose winnable Senate races.


Hmm. It seems that one side is enthused and opening their wallets and purses, while the other side is learning that hate, division, and restricting of one’s rights doesn’t sell.

Republicans are trying an experiment with something called “hybrid ads” to stretch their funds:

His daughter in law is RNC co-chair. Plus Trump basically own the party. So they’re allowing him to take their money for his own personal use.

I mean, this is an enterprise run by the Trump family. How could it be having cash flow problems?!
