Ouch.

The latest FEC numbers are in and the DNC is trailing the RNC badly in terms of cash in the bank. If you include debt, the GOP has “5 TIMES more money in the bank than Tom Perez” and the DNC:

New FEC #s: April

RNC: 15.9M

DNC: 6.6M Debt

RNC: 0

DNC: 6.2M YTD

RNC: 61.8M

DNC: 27.5M Accounting for debt, @GOPChairwoman has 25 TIMES more money in the bank than Tom Perez. (And only one side has to go through a long, resource-draining primary.) — Michael Ahrens (@michael_ahrens) May 21, 2019

And now Dems are begging for $$$:

With the primary ahead of us, it’s even more critical that the @DNC is in as strong a position possible for our eventual nominee to take back the White House. That’s why we launched the Democratic Unity Fund. https://t.co/Fms8ROp9ne https://t.co/DiNahtT5nm — The Democrats (@TheDemocrats) May 20, 2019

You know, the primary doesn’t have to be that expensive. Who says you need 20+ candidates anyway?

Supporting the Democratic Unity Fund is one of the best ways to help elect leaders as diverse, thoughtful, and big-hearted as the America they represent. Any amount you give will go toward restoring Democratic leadership and values to the Oval Office: https://t.co/vhdr26sWtn https://t.co/jdoFQeSZeK — Tom Perez (@TomPerez) May 21, 2019
