DSCC Fundraising beating Repubs - possible fillibuster deal result

[housewolf]

Interesting theory on how the Dems out-raising funds over Repubs in senate fundraising might possibly due to the fillibuster deal

<snip>

At the end of May, just after the filibuster deal, the DSCC reported 7.37M cash on hand. Also at the end of June, the NRSC reported 5.06M cash on hand. That was a 45% advantage for Democrats. However, in just one month, that advantage has ballooned to roughly 100% <...>

The real reason, however, that Democrats were able to destroy Republicans over the past month of Senate fundraising is that the Republican base hates the job the Republican Senate is doing. In particular, they felt completely betrayed and let down by the filibuster deal at the end of May. It shows in what was a very weak June for Republicans in Senate fundraising. Keep in mind that this is the only committee where Democrats even have 30% of what Republicans have in terms of cash on hand, and not only are they not getting beaten, they are doubling Republicans up. Further, most of that lead was built after the still recent filibuster deal.
