DNC Outraised RNC In May
The DNC, which has lagged its Republican counterpart in fundraising so far this year, outraised the RNC in May by almost $3M.
The DNC took in $8.37M, compared with the RNC's $5.7M. The RNC has significantly more cash in the bank, however, $21.5M to the DNC's $12.1M.
"I am pleased that the Republican National Committee continues to show solid fundraising numbers, and we are grateful to the countless Americans who have contributed to our Party," RNC chairman Michael S. Steele said in a statement. "We have important and competitive elections this fall and next year. With another month of strong fundraising numbers, we are confident and well positioned to win."
