Democratic Party Enters 2021 in Power -- and Flush With Cash, for a Change


Evelyn Blackwell 1 hour ago

“The party rarely invests in places where there could be a future race, a future battleground,” she said, singling out Texas and North Carolina as states for more investment after Mr. Biden flipped Arizona and Georgia in November and Democrats won Senate seats in both states. Democrats’ hopes in Texas and North Carolina fizzled in 2020 at the presidential, Senate and House levels.

In a show of confidence, Mr. Biden is keeping some of the same leadership staff at the D.N.C., including Sam Cornale, who is being elevated to the top staff position as executive director. Mary Beth Cahill, a longtime party operative whom Mr. Biden chose as the party’s chief executive in mid-2020, is staying on as a senior adviser as well.

Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, Mr. Biden’s former campaign manager and now a deputy chief of staff, said the president and D.N.C. enjoyed “an historically close partnership” last year that will continue. Mr. Biden “is committed to investing in continued party building and collaboration with the D.N.C.,” she said.

The Republican National Committee will also file its financial disclosures on Sunday as party officials take on the complex task of untangling its finances and operations from Mr. Trump’s. In the aftermath of Mr. Biden’s victory, the R.N.C. raised more than $250 million in tandem with Mr. Trump as he promoted baseless conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud; the party’s share was 25 percent of the donations in December.
