Ken Martin has been a disaster for Dems
The president’s approval ratings are way down, inflation and gas prices remain political liabilities, and his administration continues to face criticism over its handling of the war with Iran. Yet instead of capitalizing on those vulnerabilities over the past year and a half, the Democratic National Committee is making headlines about internal turmoil, fundraising struggles, and questions about Chairman Ken Martin’s leadership — again. According to The New York Times, the DNC is $2 million dollars in debt, while President Trump controls a $400 million super PAC and the Republican National Committee has nearly $130 million in cash on hand.
