Scoop: DNC officers asked to sign NDAs amid financial woes

Summary

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) asked its top leaders to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before a private meeting about the party’s money struggles. The DNC currently has nearly $15 million but is $18 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee (RNC) has $125 million and no debt. This money gap worries Democrats ahead of the November midterm elections.

Key Facts

  • The DNC requested NDAs from its leadership team before a recent private meeting on party finances.
  • This request is unusual because DNC officers do not normally sign NDAs.
  • DNC Chair Ken Martin faces criticism over his handling of the party’s finances.
  • The DNC has about $15 million but owes $18 million in debt.
  • The RNC holds $125 million and has no debt, giving it a large financial advantage.
  • A recent Supreme Court ruling allows parties to spend more with candidates and buy cheaper advertising, increasing the RNC’s advantage.
  • DNC officials say confidentiality agreements are common in high-level corporate and political meetings.
  • The DNC has raised more money this cycle than in recent non-White House election years, but campaign costs have also risen.
