Fewer than a third of the Republican’s campaign contributions have come from donors who gave less than $200 — down from nearly half of all donations in his 2020 race, according to an analysis by The Associated Press and OpenSecrets, an organization that tracks political spending.

I really hope this is a better measure of voter apathy towards him than the polls have shown. The article goes into several theories about what this means, and how it will impact the Republican party as a whole.

I hope so too. My only worry is that it indicates they are broke and they are placing the blame on the Biden/ Harris administration and think he’s going to fix everything, even though nothing in this “policies” will.

That is exactly my fear. They’ll quickly say that’s because they can’t afford groceries much less make political donations, thanks to inflation (which is, of course, 100% Biden’s fault in their minds).
