"Donors have not cut as many large checks to the RNC in recent years, and the partys small-dollar program has also suffered," The Washington Post reports, adding, "finances are increasingly worrisome to party members, advisers to former president Donald Trump, and other operatives."
Calling it a "revenue problem," Tennessee RNC member Oscar Brock told the Post the party is "going through the same efforts we always go through to raise money: the same donor meetings, retreats, digital advertising, direct mail. But the return is much lower this year."
Numerous problems appear to be impacting the RNC's fundraising. Some don't want to give to the RNC, concerned those funds could be used to support Donald Trump, and some are frustrated with Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel. Donald Trump "has been asking people what they think of her, which is often an ominous sign that someone is losing their standing with him."
One RNC committee member said the battle for RNC chair earlier this year hurt the party. The damage from that chair election goes far beyond the drop in donations. Our base was demoralized, said Virginia RNC member Patti Lyman.
