The Hill reports:

The Republican National Committee revealed yesterday that it has already socked away $27 million in the bank so far this year, a sum that could dampen Democratic hopes of retaking the White House next year.

That total is triple the$9 million that Democratic National Committee officials have reported saving in the first nine months of the year.
