House GOP campaign arm lags behind Democrats in August
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the House GOP's campaign arm, lagged its Democratic counterparts in August fundraising by over $12 million, according to new reports.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raised $22.3 million in August, according to a Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing. The committee spent nearly $27 million last month and was left with little over $87 million cash on hand.
The NRCC’s August was not as fruitful. The committee brought in $9.7 million, according to a Friday FEC report. The House Republican campaign arm spent $12.3 million and was left with $70.7 million cash on hand.
The August numbers represent another strong fundraising month for the DCCC. The committee outraised the NRCC in July, the month when President Biden decided that he would not run for another term. The DCCC raised $17.6 in July, nearly $6 million more than NRCC’s $11.7 million haul.
The DCCC said on Friday it, so far, has raked in $250.6 million this campaign cycle, stating it set a new record for “presidential cycle-to-date fundraising.”
“There is incredible enthusiasm for Democrats across the country right now, and thanks to the work of Leader Jeffries and the entire House Democratic caucus we continue to have the resources we need to harness that energy, go on offense, and to take back the House,” Chair Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) said in a statement.
The last time the NRCC outperformed the Democrats' campaign arm in fundraising was in May. Then, the GOP committee brought in $12.6 million, while the DCCC raised $11.9 million that month. It was the first month in 2024 that the NRCC beat the DCCC in fundraising numbers.
An NRCC spokesperson pointed The Hill to the House GOP campaign arm’s fundraising standing at this point in the previous presidential cycle, when it trailed the DCCC by nearly twice as much money, yet noted Republicans still recaptured the majority in the lower chamber.
