The most recent financial analysis contrasts the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) and Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) expenditures from October 20, 2022, to November 30, 2023, using data from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). The findings show that the two parties’ financial priorities are very different from one another.
The RNC and the DNC’s spending categories are broken out as follows:
Floral Arrangements:
RNC: $70,328.00
DNC: $795
Consultants:
RNC: $1,078,279.47
DNC: $114,000
Office Supplies:
RNC: $297,717.64
DNC: $45,005
Limousines:
RNC: $263,127.25
DNC: $7,000
Voter File Maintenance:
RNC: $39,233.50
DNC: $235,865.88
GOTV Texts:
RNC: $86,019
DNC: $1,676,923.29
State Outlays:
RNC: $13,800,200
DNC: $23,835,437
Spending by the group on things like limos, consultants, office supplies, and flowers has exceeded that of the DNC.
Significantly more money has been provided by the DNC to vital initiatives including voter file upkeep, Get Out The Vote (GOTV) messaging efforts, and assistance for state parties—all of which are customarily necessary for a successful election.
The New York Times writes on Ronna McDaniel’s impending resignation following the South Carolina GOP primary, in light of recent political developments. Politico also reports that RNC Chief of Staff Mike Reed would resign this month in order to focus on personal concerns.
Ronna McDaniel, meanwhile, has denied rumors that she agreed to resign as RNC chairwoman in an email addressed to members.
“With a news cycle full of palace intrigue and speculation surrounding all of us, I want to take the time to reassure all of you that I am still hard at work as RNC Chairwoman and building a machine that will elect Republicans up and down the ballot in November,” McDaniel wrote.
She continued, “Myself and my staff are refusing to be distracted by the outside noise and we remain committed to our mission – rumors to the contrary are simply not true. Nothing has changed and there will not be any changes decided on until after south Carolina, when we may have our eventual nominee.”
“An inside source tells me this is the RNC’s attempt to slow things down because they’ve lost control of the process, ie who replaces Ronna, who will be co-chair, etc,” Charlie Kirk, the founder of TPUSA, commented on X.
