Democrats on a losing streak
...
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is spiraling into chaos, bleeding funds and fracturing internally as it drifts further from the pulse of everyday Americans. The New York Times reported Wednesday that the party is grappling with infighting and a sharp decline in donations, painting a picture of a once-powerful machine now stuttering under the weight of its own dysfunction. At a time when the nation hungers for clarity and purpose, the Democrats seem mired in petty squabbles and elite detachment, alienating the very base they claim to champion.
DNC Chair Ken Martin, elected in February, has presided over a fundraising drought that threatens the party’s solvency. Major donors, once reliable cash flows, have turned tepid, leaving the DNC’s coffers dangerously thin. The Times noted that some senior officials have even whispered about borrowing money to keep the lights on—a desperate measure for a party that once boasted financial dominance. This isn’t just a bookkeeping problem; it’s a symptom of a deeper malaise, as the Democrats’ lofty rhetoric fails to resonate with a public weary of their out-of-touch posturing.
Six anonymous sources confided to the Times that major donors are dragging their feet, unwilling to bankroll a party that seems more interested in navel-gazing than addressing kitchen-table concerns. Two others revealed that borrowing cash is now a serious consideration, a move that would signal not just financial distress but a profound lack of confidence in the party’s direction. While Americans grapple with rising costs and uncertain futures, the DNC’s leadership appears consumed by internal power plays, oblivious to the urgency of reconnecting with the heartland.

Neither Biden nor Harris has a strong following, and there does not appear to be an alternative candidate for the Democrats as of now.
Donors obviously see the current weakness and do not want to waste their money on the current crop of Democrats.
