Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: GOP's Financial Woes Resolved?
- After positive fundraising headlines for Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC), it seems the campaign is back on track, but the expenses for success were immense.
- While the Trump-RNC Joint Fundraising Committee, 'Trump 47 Victory', raised millions of dollars, only a fraction of it went towards political activities, exacerbating the financial crisis of the RNC.
- In comparison, the Biden-DNC committee, 'Biden Victory', was able to more effectively redirect funds and financially support Democratic parties in the states.
- A decision by the Federal Election Commission allowed the RNC to use funds from their 'legal' account for campaign advertising, temporarily easing the party's financial crisis but with long-term implications for both parties.
