WASHINGTON (AP) —The Democratic National Committee narrowly outraised its Republican rival last month and cut its debt to just $3 million, down from a onetime high of $23 million, according to federal financial forms due Sunday.

The DNC raised almost $9 million in June, while the Republican National Committee reported Sunday that it raised $8.5 million. Despite narrowly being edged out last month, the RNC still has $14.4 million in the bank —roughly twice the DNC's almost $7.8 million.

Republicans have outraised Democrats in 10 of the last 18 months, although the RNC has done so only once since January of this year.

Since the election cycle began, in January 2013, the DNC has raised about $116 million. The RNC has raised about $132 million.

1. Dems are raising monies from a lot of individuals

while GOPers are getting theirs from millionaires and billionaires. No wonder why GOPers want limitations on voting from the 98%ers.

3. The democrats need to stop bragging about how much money they raise

And get out the vote in November.
