The Democratic Party Is Still Having A Lot Of Trouble Raising Money

Tom Perez presided over the worst October in nearly two decades.

The anti-Trump "Resistance" may still be active in some communities, but it's definitely not cutting any checks to the Democratic Party.

According to fundraising numbers released on Tuesday, the Democratic Party — and it's leader, Tom Perez — managed to raise only $3.9 million in October, one-third of the $9.2 million raised by the Republican National Committee. That's the worst October the DNC has had in more than 15 years.

October took the Republican Party out of debt; it's now raised $113.2 million for the year, with around $40 million ready in the bank for the 2018 mid-term elections. Democrats, meanwhile, have raised approximately half that — $55 million — and have only $5 million available for 2018 races. They're also still struggling with a whopping $3.2 million in debt from the 2016 campaign.
