The Democratic Party’s principal fundraising committee saw donations slump in the second-to-last month of the year, recording just a $12 million campaign war chest and almost $16 million still in debt due to a loan taken out the previous month, Federal Election Commission filings show.
The fundraising doldrums come amid party infighting over whether to release a 2024 autopsy report on the failed Biden-Harris campaign and pressure ahead of the critical 2026 midterms, in which Democrats want to retake Congress.
The Democratic National Committee listed a little more than $12.6 million cash on hand, $10.7 million raised,

I wonder if this is because Trump shut down the USAID slush fund that was kicking back money to the democrats or possibly because the Trump administration started investigating Act Blue and their nefarious activities. Either way it's a win for Trump.

I agree. Trump has cut into dem sneaky payments to NGOs that flow back to dems and are untraceable and unaccountable. And dem illegal activities are no longer protected. With dem popularity circling the bowl and their media collapsing they have no way to build up cash.
The midterms are going to be interesting.

All you had to do was watch news now and then during the campaign. Everywhere Trump went, there were huge crowds and if the venue was big enough, tens of thousands. How many showed up for Harris? On a good day, a couple of hundred. We really didn't need polls.

Any bank that would "loan" money to the DNC, was in reality bribing them in hopes of gaining something when they won.

In addition to the USAID money laundering operation being shut down, many donors are not happy with the bat guano crazy left wing, wing nut policies that the democrats are pushing.

Everyone above kinda beat me to it. My first thought at reading the excerpt on the front page was:
"If DOGE hadn't figured out what was going on, and Trump hadn't shut down most of the USAID cash flow, the DNC could easily have made up for their $16,000,000 debt in one afternoon of stealing from the taxpayers as they usually do. "

While shutting down the USAID money laundering operation, lets not forget the fact that Act Blue is coming under attack and scrutiny with their zombie 85 year old donors who donate hundreds of thousand of dollars to the democrats.

Just when you thought that the GOP burns through campaign money and is in a constant state of begging for more, imagine being a democrat. If your mind can grasp such a thing.

Don't get all excited. That 'Drowning' claim is from the Pubbies trying to make the 'Rats look bad.
In their world, $16M is not all that much. Read the article.... the 'Rats have $12.6M on hand and $16M in debts, so more like $4M in debt..... but in October they raised $23M. So, they're in the hole at the moment, but Soros & Co. can bail 'em out in a heartbeat. By election time, they'll be flush with cash, and spending it like 8th-grade girls with Daddy's credit card.

It smarts when you can't get those Federal funds that were laundered thru NGOs, USAID, etc.

I guess they no longer have our tax dollars (their slush fund) to cover all their miscellaneous expenses.
FTA - "That puts the DNC. . . far behind the GOP’s $89.9 million cash on hand and lack of outstanding debts as both parties look ahead to the 2026 midterms."

The Harris campaign bamboozled the big money donors.

Just rent one of those dunk tanks you see at carnivals. Set it up on the Mall, have the Vegetable sit on the treadle, charge a thousand bucks a ball....and you'll pay it off in no time. If he succumbs, Kamala is up next, then Pelodious and so forth. I'm not sure they come big enough to fit the Oinkubus.

I'm really worried that I won't see the Biden Library in my lifetime. Perhaps he can share some of Obama's space since he didn't have any accomplishments either.

Let’s not forget the money laundering operation at ActBlue. That’s what they call ‘grassroots support’. But fear not. If our next President is a Democrat it will all be put back into place. Congress has failed.

Biden not only screwed up this country, but also pulled the dem party down into the toilet. Their TDS is sure to keep them there. They have to do the opposite of what Trump is doing. That’s why can’t reveal what their agenda is because normal people definitely won’t like it.

Saying the dems are drowning in debt when it's only 16 million is a bit much. Sixteen million isn't squat in politics.

It's hard for me to believe that $5MM is "drowning" ("5 Drowning Street") for the DNC. Perhaps this message is a fundraising scam itself. But as others have voiced above, it's not beyond belief that most of their money came from NGOs and foreign contributions laundered through AssBlue.
