The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced Friday that it raised a “record-breaking” $37 million in the second quarter of 2024.
“While House Democrats were lying about the President’s mental breakdown and conducting the largest cover-up in American history, the NRCC was desperately raising money to hold them accountable. We would not be in such a strong financial position without a great leadership team that shares our goal of increasing the Republican majority in the House,” NRCC Chairman Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) said in a written statement.

The NRCC said the “record-breaking” fundraising includes $14.3 million raised in June 2024, the highest fundraising total for the second quarter of an election year in the committee’s history, nearly matching the House Republican Campaign Committee’s highest ever June in a presidential election year.
So far, the NRCC has raised $161.7 million this election cycle and has $70.8 million in cash on hand.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has not yet released fundraising figures.

In contrast to the NRCC, the Democratic Party is currently fear President Joe Biden’s fundraising is “plummeting” following his disappointing performance in the debate with former President Donald Trump.
Funding has begun to dry up following Trump’s disastrous debate defeat with former President Donald Trump, in which he struggled to cope with verbal attacks and delivered incoherent responses, according to six Democratic advisers and people who work with major donors. Some fundraisers have been canceled and some donors are threatening to withhold contributions until the president withdraws from the debate, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal party matters.
The problems aren’t just limited to the party’s big donor base: Small fundraising has also fallen in recent days, according to a person with direct knowledge of internal election data, who said the campaign now expects grassroots fundraising to be down at least 20% to 25% for the rest of the month.
