Donations to GOP drop as worries mount about the party’s finances

[BidenPresident]

Donors have not cut as many large checks to the RNC in recent years, and the party’s small-dollar program has also suffered, according to people familiar with the party’s finances, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal party details. Some donors aren’t giving to the RNC because they think that will help Trump, which they don’t want to do, these people said, while others have said they prefer to wait until 2024 to give. Some have grown frustrated with the party’s leadership, people close to major donors said.

Why would anyone hand money over to Trump??? According to him he could fund the entire thing.

Exactly. Why would anyone support the RNC if the money goes to Trump.

If he is the nominee a huge portion will go to him.

They all claim they don't send any.

Meanwhile, back to earth. I think most people expect Biden to get a second term. Trump may or may not be in prison, but clearly he is a criminal.

With the GOP being an arm of the Trump campaign, why send money to the RNC.

I don't know what is going to happen. I fear Trump has at least a 25% chance of winning, and that is way too high.

I put it at zero. I think the media loves inane controversies. I will never forgive NYTimes for bashing Biden.

I mean, 0% in actual election. Higher odds with violence and House GOP going fascist.

Crooked Trump is well known for siphoning-off campaign funds and redirecting these funds in his pocket.

Yes. Like his phony charity in New York.

Yes. Like his phony charity in New York.

That is one example.

I hope you are correct, I am not so optimistic.

Well, I consulted my Magic 8 Ball.

Only if his opponent is Trump. Maybe DeSantis AKA Trump-Lite. Nikki might beat him.

Prison is doubtful, but house arrest for life is doable.

Agreed donations might be limited if Trump is in the running. With all the Congressional Republicans refusing to run for reelection, the RNC coffers will be drained looking for new people. If Trump drops out or, better yet, can't run, then I expect donations to pick up quite a bit.

I think Nikki would win. Not sure about DeathSantis.

Agreed on Nikki. DeSantis would be a toss up, maybe even less. He screwed himself with his antics in Florida and his girly-man shoe lifts.

There seems to be two types of Republican donors. Those that won't give to the Republicans, because it will help trump, and those who won't give to the Republicans, because they want to give directly to trump.

Yes, Trump has loyalty in the GOP, but not in the donor class.
