(11,064 posts)The Democratic nominee was determined by the Democratic primary, not "AFTER the primary."
The text found with your second link speaks for itself and does not prove that "all money raised by the DNC is going directly to Barrett's campaign as the Democratic nominee."
The text found with your second link indicates that instead of sending the requested $500K to Barrett, the DNC (1) sent out emails and, on May 23rd, phoned Barrett and (2) pledged to host a fundraiser and provide grassroots support. That is obviously not a transmission of money to Barrett's campaign headquarters. Barrett's campagn staff cannot take such talk of emails and pledges to the bank to help finance air time and newspaper space in a timely manner. Without the requested funds in a timely manner, Barrett may not be able to sufficiently reach out to those who voted for his Democratic rivals as well as those who may believe that their vote is unnecessary.
Does the DNC not have $500K in their coffers? (That's a rhetorical question. No answer is requested.)
