The Democratic National Committee (DNC) said it raised $8.6 million in the month of June, marking half of the Republican National Committee’s $16.2 million haul during the same period.

The RNC has $80.78 million in the bank while the DNC has $15.22 million.

Democrats note that the RNC had more transfers this cycle and touted the Democratic committee’s grassroots prowess this cycle. The DNC noted that their June haul was the best-ever June for grassroots donations during an off-year and said DNC Chair Ken Martin raised more than any other new DNC chair in the first months of their tenure. Additionally, the cash-on-hand ratio was worse for Democrats
