🚨The Republican National Committee's year-end filing reveals it had its worst fundraising year since 2013 in absolute dollars and its worst since 1993 in inflation-adjusted figures.
It raised $87.2M, spent $93.5M, and had just $8M on hand and $1.8m in debt.
The NRCC appears to be the only one of the three national Republican party committees that isn't completely destitute, but there's still ample time for the saboteur caucus to wrest the controls away so they can safely steer the plane into the mountain.
Save America had $100M in cash (mostly raised in the 'Stop the Steal' aftermath) for most of 2022.
In October, it sent $60 million to MAGA, Inc., the SuperPAC that was supposed to help US Senate candidates and (later) support Trump in the GOP primary.
MAGA, Inc. spent around $15M on the 2022 US Senate races, then burned another $20M+ attacking Ron DeSantis, most of it in the runup to his campaign launch.
Today's first Trump PAC filing is in...the dormant Trump MAGA Cmte, which served as the small-dollar joint fundraising committee in 2016 and 2020, spent $202.8K on operating expenditures, sent $1.02M to the Save America leadership PAC paying his legal bills, and has $3.29M left.
Another Trump committee reporting in...the dormant Trump Victory, which was the large-dollar joint fundraising committee in 2016 and 2020, sent $509K to the Make America Great Again PAC (what was formerly his 2016/2020 campaign committee) and ended with $1.3 million on hand.
Now the big Trump committees are coming in. The Save America leadership PAC brought in $15.5 million in the first 6 months of the year, burned $24.3 million on operating expenditures (mostly legal fees), and sent $5.9M to Trump's MAGA PAC, ending with $3.65 million on hand.
