Minnesota has not voted Republican in a presidential contest in over 50 years the longest any state in the entire country has gone without doing so. But the GOP has still managed to elect a number of noteworthy Republicans from the state, from Rep. Tom Emmer, who previously chaired the GOP's congressional fundraising arm to former Rep. Michele Bachmann, who recently argued that slavery was not "sinful."

Years and years of major losses, however, appear to have taken their toll on the party, as it is now almost completely broke.

According to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, the Republican Party of Minnesota has just $53.81 in the bank not even enough money to buy a single Amazon Fire tabletwith Prime Day discounts applied. By contrast, the party is reporting almost $334,000 in debts.

All of this comes as the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party recently gained full control of the state legislature, and is working with Gov. Tim Walz to pass a flurry of progressive legislation, from voting rights to gun reforms to universal school lunches.

The Minnesota GOP is not alone in its financial woes a number of Republican state committees face a dire cash shortfall, including states that could be decisive in the 2024 presidential election.

A report earlier this month revealed the Arizona Republican Party has less than $50,000 in the bank, as its longtime donors bail on the party over its embrace of election conspiracy theories. And Roger Hudson, the deputy chief of staff of the Colorado Republican Party, claims that they are bankrupt and being evicted from their office space over lack of funds although the party's official social media account denies this and claims Hudson is "spreading lies" because he is disgruntled the party admonished him for supporting transgender rights.

Perhaps the most high-profile case is the Michigan Republican Party, where recently-elected party chair Kristina Karamo has faced mounting criticism from fellow officers about the lack of transparency around party finances, causing escalating tensions that culminated in a physical brawl between two Michigan GOP officials last week that put one in the emergency room and could lead to criminal charges for the other.

oooh nooooo

Go fasch lose cash

Good. Let them feel the consequences of their evileness.

Who knew that going with a guy that never pays his bills would be bad?

Only chumps back Trump.

Remember when people utterly convinced themselves that Minnesota was a "battleground" state in 2020

State GOPs are broke across the country (AZ, MI and now MN). I wouldn't worry too much though. Their donor base has big bucks.

LMAO

Minnesota can turn into a good state but turning a little more progressive and advancing with society, no need to stay back in the stone age with the Republicans

This is true. I'd keep an eye on what those SuperPACs and other shady operations are doing. IIRC, they have less FEC scrutiny.

The Californians that move to Texas are conservative tho

I bet there will be some GOP donors and groups out there that are willing to burn through their cash supply propping up the GOP as best as they can. We've got plenty of evidence that just because your super rich doesn't mean you're automatically good with money. Case in point with Elon Musk and Twitter. Also for some of these donors, it's about their goals they want to see achieved more than it is about tax cuts that saves them money. Goals that include white nationalism and turning this country into a christo-fascist one.

I totally expect to see these Republican state parties to get funding eventually by some delusional person or entity. These people are not going to give up that easily.

GOP: Go woke, go broke!
Also GOP: Oh shit, we're broke!

Excellent. Now let's replicate this everywhere.

this sounds like bullshit.

All they have to do is wink at some alt-right gazillionaire and they'll have 53.81 BILLION in their account. Something's up
