  • The DNC's $24 million debt from the 2012 presidential election, only recently paid down, has squeezed investments in the next presidential race
  • Underdeveloped party resources such as voter data files could become a serious disadvantage for the eventual nominee
  • Hillary Rodham Clinton would enter a general election contest with her own outreach network
  • The Republican National Committee posted $63 million in receipts through June, leaving it with $16.7 million cash on hand and $1.8 million in debts

The Democratic National Committee barely has more cash than it does IOUs, and it is being outraised month after month by its Republican competitor.

Its $24 million debt from the 2012 presidential election, only recently paid down, has squeezed investments in the next White House race. Underdeveloped party resources such as voter data files could become a serious disadvantage for the eventual nominee, particularly if that person is not front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, who would enter a general election contest with her own outreach network.

Those fundraising realities are top of mind as Democratic officials, donors and activists meet Thursday through Saturday in Minneapolis. Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and former Sens. Jim Webb of Virginia and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island are scheduled to speak to attendees Friday.

Federal Election Commission reports tell a disappointing story for the party: The DNC collected $36.5 million in the first six months of the year and had almost no money in special accounts, including one designated for its convention. It had about $7.6 million in available cash and $6.2 million in debts and loans.

The Republican National Committee, coming out of years in the red, posted $63 million in receipts through June, leaving it with $16.7 million cash on hand and $1.8 million in debts and loans. Party fundraising dominance has flipped: At this point before the 2012 election, the DNC was outpacing the RNC.

Republicans also have been far more active in using the accounts created last year by Congress that enable donors to give at higher levels, investing about eight times what Democrats have.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC's chairwoman, said she isn't worried.

'We are building the organization now to make sure that whoever our ultimate nominee is, they are in the best possible position to win next November,' she said in a statement, 'and we are confident we will have the resources we need.'

Raymond Buckley, chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, said that while state parties will always want more, he's happy with the investments the national committee has made across the country.

'A successful 2016 is going to depend on what's on the ground locally,' he said, adding that the DNC's assistance to state parties, in the form of enhanced voter files and leadership training, is 'light years' ahead of where it was in previous years.

But the DNC's financial situation has given others pause. The Clinton campaign is still working out a joint fundraising agreement with the party, in part because of perceived disorganization at the DNC. The next nominee is likely to send a new leadership team to the DNC.

The role of the parties has diminished over the past five years as super PACs and nonprofit policy groups that don't reveal their donors have risen to prominence. Unlike candidates and the political parties, those outside groups aren't constrained by contribution limits. Donors now have more choices about where to send their money and often see outside groups as a better way to influence elections.

President Barack Obama — the de facto leader of the Democratic Party — has contributed to the array of options.

After his 2012 re-election, his campaign formed a policy shop called Organizing for Action rather than folding back into the Democratic National Committee. That group raised about $5 million in the first six months of the year and maintains control of a social network and email list of millions of Democratic supporters, making it somewhat of a second DNC.

Still, Obama is a top draw for the party. He has spoken at 19 DNC fundraisers this year, more than his Republican predecessor George W. Bush did in his seventh year of office. Obama also is on track nearly to match President Bill Clinton's prodigious fundraising pace from 1999, when he attended 44 DNC fundraisers.

'The president is the most effective fundraiser there is,' said Brendan Doherty, an associate professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, who researches presidential fundraising.

'No one in political life is able to command more donors, and no one can better serve the party.'

The DNC is poised to quicken its fundraising pace. Top party financiers meet Friday in Minneapolis. In late September, the DNC will host an LGBT gala in New York, a major fundraiser. And Democratic presidential debates, which begin in October, also may foster donor interest in the party.
