The RNC compared its numbers to those of the Democratic national committee saying:
RNC vs DNC in 2017:
RNC more than doubled the DNC: $132.5M vs. $65.9M
RNC has six times more cash on hand than the DNC
RNC has $38.8M net cash, DNC has $423K
RNC has $0 debt, DNC has $6.1M
The DNC has had an extremely difficult fundraising year and closed out 2017 with increasing debt and very little cash on hand.
RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel credited President Donald Trump with the RNC’s success, saying “we look forward to electing more Republican leaders to Congress who will support President Trump’s winning agenda on behalf of the American people.”
