Thanks, Chuck! Schumer Shutdown Leads to Record GOP Fundraising

Whether we like it or not, money plays a huge role in politics, and with the obvious exception of Kamala Harris, which side has more of it can often determine who’s going to prevail in the next elections. The Republican Party, therefore, can thank Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for his quixotic shutdown which is achieving nothing except for more money for the Grand Old Party.

And that’s exactly what’s happening as we enter our third week of the Shumer Shutdown:

House Republicans' campaign arm is announcing it brought in nearly $24 million in the months of July through September this year.
More than half of that — roughly $13.95 million — came in September, as Republicans were readying for a political messaging war over federal funding.
That fight is still ongoing now, more than halfway through October. The government has been shut down for 20 days as Republicans and Democrats are still in disagreement over federal spending.

I would challenge Fox News on their take on this one: “Republicans and Democrats are still in disagreement over federal spending.” No, they’re not. The Democrats are holding up a simple clean Continuing Resolution; the Republicans agree to it—and opening the government—en masse.

In any case, the numbers are yuge:

The National Republican Congressional Committee's (NRCC) $13.95 million haul represents its best September in a non-election year and a 50% increase from the previous comparable September in 2023.

House Republicans have achieved a record-breaking fundraising quarter, vastly outpacing their Democratic rivals in a critical off-year cycle, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced this week.

Liberal Media Just Made a Big Admission About the Schumer Shutdown - Dems Aren't Going to Like This

No wonder the Democrats are flailing; their junior high theatrics in their silly “No Kings” protests over the weekend exposed them for the completely unserious people that they are. Of course, it’s been 249 years since a king last ruled over us, so even the “cause” of the demonstrations was futile. As RedState’s Brad Slager wrote, the protesters clued us all in to the fact that they’re mostly utter buffoons:

What else are we to make of the assembled codgers who sing insipid protest anthems, or make up a dance line with “Sweating To The Oldies”-level choreography? Does anyone insisting they are challenging authority and taking it to Trump ever step back for a moment and ask, how is he impacted by your tambourine ensemble? And the crowds of animal cosplay defy explanation.

Remember, they’ve shut the government down over this:

Speaker Mike Johnson BLASTS Democrats' insane list of demands to the end gov shutdown, which includes:

-Half a BILLION for liberal news outlets
-$24.6 million for climate resilience in Honduras
-$13.4 million for civic engagement in Zimbabwe
-$3.9 million for LGBTQI+ democracy… pic.twitter.com/c1Jzweo6TS

-$3.9 million for LGBTQI+ democracy grants in the western Balkans
-$2.9 million for desert locust risk reduction in Africa
-$2 million for organizing for feminist democratic principles in Africa

THIS is what the Democrats are holding the American people hostage over. Unreal.

No wonder people are donating to the GOP.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
