The May party and campaign fundraising numbers are out and the GOP outraised the Democrats in April by a tight margin. But the more interesting numbers are not trumpeted by Joe Biden or the Democrats.

Fox News reports: “The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee [RNC] on Monday announced they had brought in $61.7 million in fundraising for the month of April — just slightly outpacing Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee [DNC], which had a $60.5 million fundraising haul.”

The former vice president was gracious in his acknowledgment of support, saying, “I am especially humbled because I know what a sacrifice it is to give in economic times as difficult as the one we’re in… When staring down the face of economic uncertainty, you chose to put your money behind me. For that, I will always be eternally thankful.”

But the GOP won where it counted. In fact, the Trump campaign and the RNC have been on a fundraising roll since early 2017. They now have over $255 million cash on hand. That soundly beats the Democrat cash on hand of $166 million.

“While day-to-day life may have slowed this past month, enthusiasm and support for this president has not. With their time, resources, and ultimately their vote, Americans across this country continue to put their faith in President Trump,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on the May numbers.

The debt of both parties is very telling and it is not something the Democrats want to talk about. The GOP has less than $1 million in debt. The Democrats have over seven times that amount in debt and climbing. Why is there such a disparity? Because average Americans are investing in President Trump and the Republicans.

Biden is right in one sense: These are hard times and political fundraising is more difficult now, especially amongst the rank and file of the parties, than it has been for quite some time.

American voters can be shrewd consumers and look at rival campaigns essentially as electoral products that will affect their lives to a great extent. Give to the GOP and the virus will be dealt with and economic prosperity very well may return. It is only logical to think that if the president built an amazingly strong economy from the slow-moving jobless recovery that he inherited from the previous administration he can do it again in a second term. Voters also may be thinking: What if the economy had not been that robust going into the virus crisis? How much worse off would we be now?

Give your money to the Democrats and you will get Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Bernie Sanders. Voters are seeing now, because of virus restrictions and the supply chain consequences, what store shelves could be like on the daily under the socialism the Democrats want to usher in. Yes, some pseudo-elites and others who benefit from hard times, like the government class, want the average person to suffer so Democrats and their big state acolytes have more control over the lives of American citizens. Those are the people who make up the majority of Biden and Democrat donors.

The rest of America? They just want to get back to work, be able to have dinner out, and look forward to the reelection of the president and an economic renaissance. And that’s why Trump and the GOP will continue to outraise Biden, Pelosi, and the Democrats.
