Both the Republican and Democratic national political conventions remain short of their fundraising goals, as organizers have grappled with calls for corporate boycotts of the Republican gathering and Democrats coped with a protracted nomination battle.

Each committee is working to raise more than $60 million.

The host committee for the Republican gathering in Cleveland has collected roughly $56.5 million, said David Gilbert, its president and CEO. That puts the committee about $7.5 short of the $64 million it must collect for the July 18-21 event.

The group raising money for the Democratic National Convention is $9 million to $10 million short, said former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell, who serves as chairman of the Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee. – USA Today

They’re short, but not that short. (And yes, we’re talking about fundraising gaps, not a certain candidate’s finger size).
