The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has a lot of issues.
There are reports of their chairman, Ken Martin, throwing tantrums — and phones.
People at the DNC are leaking like sieves — despite Martin chastising them not to do so.
The biggest problem? They are in big money trouble as we head toward the midterms, particularly in comparison to the Republicans. They're $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee has close to $130 million.
It's so bad they even had to put their headquarters up for collateral to get a piddly (by fundraising standards) $15 million. You know how close to the edge they have to be if they're doing that.
They're even telling vendors to hold off on some invoices until after the midterms.
Plus, perhaps even more damaging for their hopes, the DNC normally has transferred millions of dollars every election to sister committees responsible for winning the House and Senate. They've had to stop that this year.

New: Another Big Issue That Shows How on Edge the DNC Is
Now there's another report that tells you something about the DNC's issues with money. It's both ridiculous and hilarious at the same time.
A thief scammed the cash-strapped Democratic National Committee out of nearly $29,000 last year, according to interviews with committee officials and previously unreported federal records.
In February 2025, an unknown party sent a fraudulent email to a committee staffer pretending to be Chairman Ken Martin, a DNC official familiar with the matter confirmed to NOTUS. Martin had begun his tenure days before. The staffer, who is no longer at the DNC, made a payment to the fraudster.
The DNC claims they caught the problem within minutes but were only able to recover $7,000 of the money.
Are you kidding me? Did the scammer identify himself as a Nigerian prince too? You just send money out because of such an email?
The DNC acknowledged what it called a “misdisbursement of Committee funds” in an August 2025 letter to the Federal Election Commission, saying it “was the result of fraudulent activity by an external third party.” It told regulators it would take “further steps to avoid similar events in the future.”
Maybe this kind of response is part of the reason they have money issues. What kind of safeguards did they actually have?
How can you ask the voters to vote for your party and your candidates if you aren't even able to take care of your own money? How are you going to deal with the taxpayers' dollars?
We already saw with the Kamala Harris campaign how the Democrats blew a ton of money into the wind on that. That's another reason the DNC is in a hole, trying to cover some of that debt disaster.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson pointed out the problem.
Dems: hello plz elect us to run your govt and donate more money to us 😀
