   Democratic donors are reportedly withdrawing support from a fundraising   
   event for former Vice President Kamala Harris, with at least one sending a   
   profanity-laced rejection.   
      
   Sources familiar with the matter say the Democratic National Committee   
   (DNC) contacted major donors for the San Francisco fundraiser, but most   
   declined.   
      
   The Wall Street Journal has reported that the DNC has struggled to raise   
   money during President Trump's second term in office.   
      
   "Upon receiving the invitation, one replied with a profanity-laced   
   rejection," the report read. "Others said they didn’t want to give to the   
   party until it produced substantive plans to win elections. Those who   
   declined told the national party they had commitments and couldn’t make it   
   work."   
      
   The DNC eventually found a donor to host the fundraiser, but they raised   
   far less than what was expected. The report said:   
      
   A top official at a national Democratic group said some donors remain   
   angry about how their money was spent in last year’s presidential election   
   by outside groups, including on what they see as excessive salaries for   
   Washington, D.C., consultants. The official said the party has failed to   
   complete a public post election investigation into what went wrong in   
   2024.   
      
   The Wall Street Journal reports that the DNC has roughly $12 million in   
   cash on hand, far less than the Republican National Committee’s $86   
   million. Some Democrat insiders attribute the gap in funding to the party   
   being out of power, while others see it as evidence of a widening rift   
   between progressive and establishment Democrats. There is still little   
   direction the party has taken, other than opposing President Trump in any   
   way they see possible, including his White House Ballroom project.   
      
   Many people believe that the Democrats have two choices: back away from   
   their extreme policies, like advocating for men in women's sports, or lean   
   into their progressive wing, which would double down on both social and   
   political progressivism. It seems lately that they have begun to choose   
   the latter.
