NEW: House GOP Posts Astonishing June Fundraising Numbers

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) crushed the Democratic Party’s equivalent in terms of fundraising for the month of June, including in swing districts ahead of a pivotal midterm elections cycle.

The NRCC is the primary Republican Party vehicle to electing candidates in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition to fundraising for candidates, the organization provides strategic guidance, polling, data analytics and training to candidates and their staffers. It also coordinates national efforts to flip districts or hold onto ones being targeted by Democrats.

“Republicans just blew Democrats out of the water in Q2 fundraising,” the NRCC announced in an X post Friday. “PLUS: Republican candidates doubled Democrats in swing district fundraising.”

The post was accompanied by a graphic titled, “Republicans just CRUSHED Democrats, outraising them by nearly $5.5 million in June.” It also contained a bar graph showing the NRCC far out-running the DCCC.

“The  @DCCC tried to bury its embarrassing June fundraising meltdown in a Friday night news dump,” the post continued. “RT to spread the word!”

The NRCC out-raised their Democrat counterparts by a total of $18.1 million to $12.7 million in the month of June. The NRCC also outpaced the DCCC in the second quarter as a whole, ending the period with $32.2 million to DCCC’s $29.1 million.

In the year to date, the NRCC has raised $69 million to the DCCC’s $66 million.

Earlier this year, the organization released its list of the 26 House seats it will be prioritizing for flip opportunities in the 2026 elections cycle. In a recent press release, the NRCC noted that in the 2018 “blue wave” cycle, there were only 12 House Democrats in districts that were carried by President Trump in 2016, while there were 25 Republicans in Clinton-won districts. This cycle, there are 13 Democrats in Trump-won districts and just three Republicans in districts that were carried by Vice President Harris back in November.

While the opposition party typically performs well in midterm elections, cratering favorability ratings for the Democratic Party and a difficult map in both the House and Senate have led to a more challenging midterms outlook than usual.

The outlook gets even worse when accounting for trends, as a whopping 419 congressional districts have shifted to the right since 2020. Of that number, 65 districts have trended towards Republicans by double digits.

“Republican gains among Latino voters helped flip districts like CO-08 and PA-07 in 2024 while putting Democrat-held Hispanic-heavy seats — such as NJ-09, TX-28, and TX-34, which all swung over 25% right since 2012 — at risk for Democrats, expanding the GOP’s offensive map in 2026,” the NRCC wrote in its press release.

Recent polling data has further given Republicans cause for optimism. According to a recent poll from CNN, Democrats lead in the generic midterms ballot by just two percentage points. This represents a massive decline from 2006 and 2018, two years where Democrats attempted to capitalize on a Republican in office, when they led by seven points on the generic ballot in July.

In addition to troubling results on the generic ballot, Democrats are also lagging in terms of breaking down congressional races by individual seats. “Okay, House seat ratings with a GOP president like back in 2005 and of course 2017. More net pickup seat chances. Well, last time around, look at that. Democrats were ahead by 33 seats. How about in 2005? Democrats were ahead by seven seats. What’s going on right now? It’s actually Republicans,” CNN’s Harry Enten said when breaking down the data.

This time around, Republicans hold a 12-point lead in terms of net pickup opportunities, according to partisan leans measured by the Cook Partisan Voting Index.
