Report: Democratic Party going broke!?

The Democratic Party just got some very bad news: First, big-spending liberals spent decades piling up the $36 trillion national debt, which has America’s future teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

Now that they’ve nearly bankrupted the United States, the Democrats have almost bankrupted themselves, too.

After talking to a half-dozen people familiar with the Democratic Party’s financial picture, The New York Times revealed the blue states’ favorite party is deep in the red.

The Democratic National Committee has gotten so few donations since President Donald Trump took office that The Times reported the party might actually “need to borrow money this year to keep paying the bills.”

“Funding for USAID stops, and in an unrelated story the Democratic Party can’t pay its salary,” said Congressman Tim Burchett, -Tenn.

“I can tell you why. No more laundered Ukraine and USAID bucks!” said TV host Bill Mitchell.

“You mean Americans DON’T want to give money to a party who assauIts ICE agents and only fights for illegals?!? Who would’ve thought?!” asked Nick Sortor.

The donors pinned all the blame on new DNC Chairman Ken Martin, whom insiders blasted as “weak,” “whiny,” and “invisible” in talks with donors.

They say Martin has promised to write checks the DNC can’t cash.

Martin has vowed to fight the Republicans in every one of the 50 states during the 2026 midterm elections—and put big money behind his big talk.

He promised to send $1 million a month—tens of thousands of dollars a month each—to all 50 state parties, even in such out-of-reach red states as Alabama and electorally irrelevant territories like Guam.

“What they are seeing is headline after headline of incompetence and infighting, and I think that is a real problem not just for the D.N.C. but for the larger Democratic brand,” said Rufus Gifford, a top Democrat in touch with many liberal megadonors.

Charges of “incompetence” are a little ironic coming from Gifford, the finance chairman of Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign, who spent more than $1 billion allegedly purchasing celebrities’ endorsements only to lose last November’s election in a landslide.

Already, two of the biggest public union leaders bailed from the DNC: Biden chum Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers and Lee Saunders, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), who represents the government bureaucrats DOGE has buzz-cut over the last five months.

“The departures of Ms. Weingarten and Mr. Saunders represent a significant erosion of trust in the D.N.C. — the official arm of the national party — during a moment in which Democrats are still locked out of power and grappling for a message and messenger to lead the opposition to President Trump,” said The Times.

But you don’t have to take The New York Times’ word for it (and you shouldn’t); listen to the voters themselves.

Almost two-thirds (62 percent) of Democrats agreed that “the leadership of the Democratic Party should be replaced with new people,” according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday.

“The poll identified a deep disconnect between what Democrats say their priorities are and the issues they believe party leaders care about most ahead of next year’s midterm elections, when they hope to crack Republican control of Congress,” reported Reuters. Even liberals “see their elected officials as not focused on helping families make ends meet and reducing corporate influence.”

Ever the party functionary, Martin brushed off concerns that the party had lost direction—and blamed the media.

Martin’s brilliant leadership had been “overshadowed by some of this inside baseball stuff,” he said on Tuesday.

The idea that the legacy media have a bias against the Democrats seems unlikely—but he may have a point.

Martin has publicly said he wants to move the Democratic Party a little closer to the center. He spent $20 million of the party’s money trying to learn how Democrats should talk to men, and some even wanted to call the Democratic agenda “Blue MAGA.” Add to that the fact that the activists and donors leaking negative comments about him all seem to be on the party’s far-Left.

For example, left-wing “progressive” Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin recently posted, “I would love to have a day go by that @DNC doesn’t do something embarrassing & off message,” singling out Martin and party infighting. “Internal bullshit done externally is stupid.”

But will the Democratic National Committee listen and clean up its act—even staring polls in the face that its own voters want nothing to do with it? Could the Democrats move away if faced with a revolt from megadonors like George Soros and his son, Alex?

Don’t bet on it.

The DNC recently canceled its own election, overturning the election of rank-and-file delegates to see left-wing activist David Hogg serve as vice chairman of the party under Martin…because Hogg didn’t meet the Woke Left’s quota criteria.

When it comes down to the wire, Democrats have decided donors’ dollars and activists’ extremism matter more to them than the American people.
