TheHouse Republican campaign armhas brought in $57.6 million so far in 2026, Axios has learned.
Why it matters:The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee (NRCC) is touting the fundraising numbers as evidence the party is entering the midterms with momentum despite historical headwinds for the party in power.
- The NRCC brought in $10.4 million in April, and has $81.3 million cash on hand.
- The NRCC has now raised $174.9 million cycle-to-date.
State of play:The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has not released their April numbers.
- The NRCC outraised the DCCC in 2025 by roughly $2 million, and outraised the DCCC in the first quarter of 2026 by roughly the same margin.
- The NRCC has historically lagged far behind the DCCC in fundraising. In October, the NRCC had its firstsix-figure edgein year-to-date fundraising over the Democrats in an off-year since 2015.
What they're saying:"House Republicans are on offense and have the ingredients to defy history with a historic fundraising advantage, battle-tested candidates, a favorable map, and a winning message focused on the issues voters care about most," NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella told Axios in statement.
- "While Republicans continue building momentum, Democrats are stuck navigating messy primaries, a weak national brand, and a party increasingly pulled apart by its own far-left base."
