House and Senate Republicans are starting to panic about a huge money gap with Democrats

GOP candidates are starting realize they aren’t going to get the funds they need to campaign because Lara Trump is in charge and all of the campaign donations are being siphoned to Trump businesses and his massive legal bills.

House and Senate Republicans are starting to panic about a huge money gap with Democrats

GOP leaders on Capitol Hill are privately — and publicly — warning donors they need more money.

Republicans are racing to plug a massive money hole — before it’s too late.

The leader of House Republicans’ biggest super PAC told donors last month he needed $35 million more to compete with Democrats in the fall. Senate GOP campaign chair Steve Daines used his primetime speaking slot at the Republican convention to lament that massive spending from Democrats was keeping him awake at night. And his House GOP counterpart warned that their party’s challengers trailed Democratic incumbents by a collective $37 million at the end of June.

Republicans were already worried about a glaring financial gap even before Kamala Harris’ rise. Now, with the election just two months away, they found themselves in an even more dire position: Democrats have seen a flood of enthusiasm in recent weeks, they’re far outspending Republicans on air and their donors are more energized than ever — with campaign finance data showing a surge in grassroots fundraising in late July after President Joe Biden dropped out.

Panic is starting to set in.

to pay for his legal bills might have been a BAD idea.

4. Didn't Lara say that republicans wanted their money to go to Trump? It's not a money gap problem.

It is their own money allocation system.

She's an especially pitiful specimen in a family of full of them. Probably why they gave her the participation trophy of co-GOP chair (or whatever her title is).
