The cash-strapped Democratic National Committee is in full-blown meltdown, according to a New York Times report, with its chair, Ken Martin, descending into fear and “a growing sense of paranoia” about his job security.
Facing a cash crunch, the Democratic National Committee has asked vendors to hold off on sending bills until after the midterms, The Times reported — an unusual move exposing the party’s financial struggles with just a few months left before the November election.
The comparative financial status of the two parties is stark: President Trump has a $400 million war chest — and the RNC has another $130 million available — and the DNC is reportedly about $2 million in debt, according to The Times.
Martin is reportedly growing increasingly anxious about the DNC’s financial woes and whether or not he will be able to keep his job. The chairman, responsible for fundraising, party operations, and campaign infrastructure, is “relying on a vanishingly small circle of people he trusts,” The Times reported Sunday.
