Summary
Federal Election Commission filings show the Democratic National Committee is down by more than $100 million in cash on hand versus the Republican National Committee, with less than 12 weeks until the midterms.
The new disclosures also show the DNC carrying millions of dollars in debt, deepening a financial gap that leaves Democrats with less flexibility for late campaign spending.
The imbalance underscores the GOP’s fundraising edge at a critical stage, when national committees typically ramp up spending on voter outreach, advertising and turnout operations.
With the election approaching, the cash disparity could shape each party’s ability to compete across key House and Senate races in the final stretch.
