Exclusive: House Republicans outraise Democrats in June

Axios Axios —

The https://www.axios.com/2025/10/28/zohran-mamdani-republicans-midterms" target="_blank">House Republicans' campaign arm brought in $17.6 million in June, leaving them with $92.7 million in cash on hand, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The https://www.axios.com/2026/05/20/house-republican-fundraising-numbers-2026-nrcc" target="_blank">National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee is entering the final midterm stretch with a cash advantage over House Democrats, giving GOP leaders another talking point as they try to defy the historical trend that typically favors the party out of power.

  • The NRCC outraised its counterpart, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, by $1.2 million in June.
  • That brought the NRCC's cash on hand to $92.7 million, versus $79 million for the DCCC.

Yes, but: The DCCC outraised the NRCC in the full second quarter of 2026, bringing in $37.4 million, compared to $35.4 million for NRCC.

What they're saying: "Republicans are building a campaign machine to win.

Democrats are still holding clown show socialist auditions for who gets to lose in November," NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella told Axios in a statement.

  • DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said in a statement Monday that the group's "strong quarter of fundraising combined with the incredible results of our Frontliners and challengers show that across the battlefield, Democrats are assembling people-powered campaigns ready to win in November and make Hakeem Jeffries the next speaker of the House."

Zoom in: The NRCC's fundraising edge hasn't translated to individual candidates.

  • Twenty-five GOP incumbents — and Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-Calif.) — were outraised by a Democratic challenger in the second quarter of 2026, according to Punchbowl News.

Zoom out: The https://www.axios.com/2026/06/30/senate-gop-nrsc-ad-spending-scotus-midterms-2026" target="_blank">Supreme Court's ruling last month allowing unlimited coordinated spending between national party committees and candidates supercharges the NRCC's fundraising advantage.

  • Instead of being constrained by coordination limits, the committee can now funnel more of its financial edge directly into competitive House races.
