Republican Cash Edge Threatens to Swamp Democrats

February 10, 2026 · 12:58 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“For the first time in years, Democrats are sounding the alarm about money problems,” the New York Times reports.

“The Republican National Committee began this year with nearly $100 million more than the Democratic National Committee.”

“The Supreme Court is widely expected to loosen restrictions on party funds in the coming months in a way that could help Republicans take fuller advantage of their fund-raising edge.”

“President Trump is sitting atop a super PAC with more than $304 million — a huge sum for which there is no Democratic counterweight.”
