The Democratic National Committee has spent more than $800,000 on non-voting US territories, including the Virgin Islands, despite entering the final 100 days before the 2026 midterm elections with debts exceeding cash on hand by roughly $2 million. The spending has drawn scrutiny given the party's precarious financial position, raising questions about prioritisation as Democrats prepare for a critical election cycle in which they hope to make gains in Congress.

The DNC reportedly has no transfers planned to state parties or other committees as it manages its shortfall, according to the report. Separately, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Rep. Suzan DelBene told Fox News Digital that her focus on affordability issues would continue through 2026, as the party seeks to hold Republicans accountable ahead of the midterms.
