The ultra-MAGAfied Republican National Committee led by Ronna Not-Romney replacement Mike Whatley and nepo hire Lara Trump spent more cash than it raised in July, the Daily Beast’s Roger Sollenberger reports, citing FEC records showing just under $31 million in receipts vs $33.5 million spent or transferred. Worse, it’s a serious dropoff from June’s $67 million haul, meaning the immediate aftermath of fat former President Trump’s May 30th conviction on 34 felony counts for interfering in the 2016 election by covering-up of an embarrassing sexual encounter with a porn star was more than twice as lucrative as a failed assassination attempt and the party convention were.
July 2024’s haul was also significantly smaller than the same month in 2020 when the RNC raked in $55.3 million and then $67 million in August 2020 – the month that year’s convention was held.
