The Democratic National Committee raised $12.8 million in February through its main account and a joint fundraising committee with state parties, according to numbers shared first with POLITICO.
The total shows an improvement for the DNC as the committee gears up for the high-stakes 2020 election. In 2019, the committee and the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund, which can take in six-figure checks from donors and divide them between the DNC and numerous state parties, regularly raised less than $10 million per month. The DNC finished February with $14 million cash on hand, it said.
But the committee has a challenging road ahead: Democrats are slowly emerging from a long primary — and Joe Biden, the presumptive nominee, will need to quickly build a large campaign machine if he wants to catch up with President Donald Trump, who has had months to prepare his reelection effort.
