George Soros\u00a0and his son Alex donated more than $400,000 to the Democratic National Committee during the 2018 midterms. They gave more than $1 million during the 2022 midterm election cycle, campaign finance records show.<\/p>\n

This year, they have yet to give the DNC a dollar.<\/p>\n

The Soroses aren\u2019t alone\u2014other high-profile donors have given little or no money to the Democrats\u2019 central committee this year.\u00a0Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, wrote steady checks to the DNC for years but during the midterms has yet to give money.<\/p>\n

In a sign of the party\u2019s challenges, a running joke among some donors is that the DNC stands for \u201cDo Not Contribute,\u201d said one Democratic strategist who advises major party donors.<\/p>\n

Months ahead of pivotal midterm elections, the\u00a0Democratic fundraising apparatus<\/a>\u00a0has a big donor problem.<\/p>\n

While many Democratic elites still feel bullish about\u00a0taking back the House<\/a>\u00a0and are willing to throw big money at their favorite candidates, institutional fatigue\u2014and in some cases, full-on drama\u2014have set in among a number of the party\u2019s biggest donors. Like voters, donors say they feel disillusioned with Washington and the party establishment they have long supported.<\/p>\n

The DNC isn\u2019t the only problem spot for Democrats\u2014other Democratic committees and super PACs lag behind Republicans across the board. It is common for a party that is out of power in Washington to struggle, but Democrats are increasingly concerned it will hurt their chances of winning this fall as Republicans stack up significantly more money in committees and PACs that can organize door-knocking efforts and air TV ads.<\/p>\n

Some of the problem is the lingering frustration among major donors over how their money was spent in the 2024 presidential election, when nominee\u00a0Kamala Harris\u00a0quickly raised more than $1 billion but still lost after a rushed process to nominate her. Others point to the painful divisions in the Democratic Party\u2019s donor base over the war in Gaza, antisemitism in the U.S. and an\u00a0insurgent group of Democratic socialists<\/a>\u2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
