'We are outgunned and will be outspent': MAGA leaders worry about Democrat surge

MAGA alarm bells are sounding as the Democratic apparatus mobilizes and taps its star wattage. Notable prodigy conservative and Turning Point USA's CEO and co-founder Charlie Kirk did everything short of blowing a panic whistle in a tweet stewing about how the Dems are ramping up financially and rolling out boldface names in advance of November 5 as a way to rally his GOP base to avoid complacency.

"This [$25 million] is more raised in one night than Trump raised the entire month of February," Kirk's post on Twitter/X reads. "Democrats are beginning to fine tune their messaging, and they have a standing army of 5,000+ full-time organizers on the ground in the key states.", "We are outgunned and will be outspent. The polls are tightening. Time to get to work. The country is at stake."

Kirk was responding Biden's show of force touting a sold-out event at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall headlined by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton that is expected to rake in $25 million fundraising — possibly making it the “most successful political fundraiser in American history.”

More than 5,000 guests are expected to attend the gala paying an admittance that ranges from $225 to $500,000. The war chest duel between Trump and Biden campaigns so far is one-sided. While Biden has Obama and Clinton in his corner, Trump lacks an answer of former President George W. Bush, his Republican predecessor, and his former Vice President Mike Pence, who has publicly declared he won't endorse the 45th president.

Lie, cheat, steal, intimidate, rig, rape, pillage, destroy, shout, discriminate. It sure as hell doesn’t mean articulating ideas wrapped in leadership, governance and money management. Your leader doesn’t care about you Charlie. He cares what you can do for him every day, every hour. Without pay, without a pat on the back. You’ll get nothing cause that’s what trump gives.
