The RNC raised a March record $24 million last month, despite the coronavirus pandemic shuttering large parts of the economy

The haul underscores how the pandemic has forced a shift in fundraising with less than seven months until the election. With high-dollar fundraising events canceled, the focus is on attracting small dollar contributions online. Nearly 75 percent of the RNC’s contributions were $200 or less.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has remained in touch with major donors during the pandemic, but she has refrained from making explicit asks for checks. Since Trump’s inauguration, the committee has spent tens of millions of dollars to expand its email, text messaging, and direct mail operations and used them to aggressively solicit small donors.

While Trump’s poll numbers have taken a dip amid the spread of coronavirus, his political team is betting that the massive infrastructure they’ve developed will overwhelm former Vice President Joe Biden’s less well-funded campaign, which has not had the same luxury of years of unopposed fundraising and preparation. Through February, the RNC had a more than five-to-one cash advantage over the Democratic National Committee.

In the wake of the pandemic, the RNC has used its war chest to establish a massive online campaign. The organization boasts that it has made nearly 20 million calls to prospective voters since March 13.

That is because the top 1% are Republican.

Russia was busy pumping money into their bank account

Post the names of everyone if those abusers & how much they donated to destroy our Country, the USA. And shove this in their face while you're at it:

joncoopertweets Trump gave the assistance money to his Billionaire friends first so it could be channeled back into the RNC pockets . Small business is struggling or dying along with Americans

joncoopertweets Now that just seems odd. Doesn't that seem odd to anyone else. I might even call that suspicious, bc republicans do have a history of money laundering and foreign influence. Just seems odd they aren't having money problems.

joncoopertweets Just donated to JoeBiden again! Every little bit helps!

joncoopertweets All the money isnt going to help them. Big Blue is fired up

Rubles?

Confirms what I've been reading - despite what the media tries to make you think the majority of Americans like Trump .

I thought he didn’t need your money!

🤮😡

Pearls before swine.

Russian oligarchs is working hard on further corrupting republicans I see. I’m guessing they don’t see much resistance from Moscow Mitch.

From who?

Follow the money! Trump is already siphoning off money from campaign funds.

The big money donors care more about protecting their investment than about the loss of lives.

panic donations

Trump will keep 20 mil for himself and family. Dumb donors

Dictators, billionaires, and Covid-19 approve. GOPBetrayedAmerica

Comrade Putin will be pleased

All those $1,200 checks. People gave it back to Trump because they had his name on them.

🇷🇺 💰

That’s a lot of rubles!

Bernie could've done that or better. But, be has consideration for people's money circumstances in these awful times!

He will claim it for his own so he can pay for the gaggle of lawyers he will hire in an attempt to stay out of jail fight. His supporters will keep his coffers full because him losing means they are culpable too.

Russians have $$ to spare.

It’s a f’in Fascist cult

davelevinthal A rounding error for the billions in 'bailout' money being shoveled at donors by the GOP to buy their support.

The best “poll” of all. Don’t ya think? Love how you spin this. Good example of fake-news syndrome and TDS.

Proving PT Barnum was right all along!

The RNC is a bunch of rich no tax paying assholes.

The RNC is raising money on Democrat’s statist agenda in full transparency.

Part of the fat cats slush fund to the oligarchs finds its way back to the corrupt GOP. That's really a shocker. 🤔
