So here's my monthly 'Demons has worst fundraising' posting. The last April the demons had in fundraising was in 2009. But not to outdo themselves, May was the worst month of May since 2003. Oh, the RNC had an off-year record high May of $10.8 million
In May 2003, the Democratic group pulled in $2.7 million. Although 2017 is an off-year for fundraising, the DNC has raised between $4.5 million and $20 million every May in the nearly decade and a half since then.
The low number follows another rough fundraising month in April, in which the group hauled in $4.7 million, making it the worst April of fundraising since 2009.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez has said he intends to double the organization's budget from $50 million to $100 million this year, a change that will prove difficult if donations continue to remain below average. Perez defended his performance by saying he has only been leading the DNC for a few months now.
"Well again, I got there on March 1. And so, I was the first to say, we have a lot of rebuilding to do," Perez said on NBC.
The Republican National Committee reported $10.8 million in donations for the month of May, an off-year record-high number for the group.
