A new report claims that things are even worse than previously thought in the Democratic National Committee.
It’s pretty obvious that the DNC has been in turmoil for a long time, with the 2024 presidential race failure of former Vice President Kamala Harris bringing many internal problems to light. But a new report from The New York Times indicates that things are much more broken than anyone realized.
According to the piece, the DNC is currently fighting a $2 million debt and is asking vendors to delay invoicing them until the midterms are over. Meanwhile, their opponents at the Republican National Committee (RNC) have in excess of $128 million on hand.
The problems appear to be taking their toll on DNC Chair Ken Martin, the authors claim.
“Mr. Martin’s fraying nerves are showing.“In a pique of frustration in early July, he threw his phone at the desk of a junior aide while upbraiding the person. The phone-tossing incident resulted in a formal complaint to the DNC’s human resources department,” the article reads, adding that he seems to be experiencing a “growing sense of paranoia” and has been “paralyzed by the idea of leaks.”
This comes as Martin penned a Substack piece essentially defending the committee’s financial situation.
From the article:
The current DNC has raised the most money of any DNC without the White House in the 198-year history of the Democratic Party.
Through June 2026, this DNC reported total receipts of more than $207 million. During the comparable 18-month period of the last Trump-era cycle, when Democrats were also out of the White House and rebuilding toward a midterm election, the DNC reported $109 million. That means the current DNC has reported total receipts of nearly $100 million more – roughly 90 percent more – than the most relevant historical comparison.
The DNC raised, from grassroots donors (under $10,000) and major gift donors (over $10,000), $154.8 million through June 2026, compared with $95.2 million over the comparable 18-month period in 2017–2018. That is a nearly $60 million advantage—approximately 63% more.
The monthly fundraising pace tells the same story. The current DNC is averaging about $8.6 million per month, compared with about $5.3 million per month during the comparable period. That is roughly $3.3 million more each month, or about 62% higher.

Weird how the DNC went broke after all the DOGE cuts.
I’m sure that’s just a coincidence. https://t.co/vRajzMQPIi
