Trump Fuels House GOP’s Record Haul Ahead of Bruising Midterms

The National Republican Congressional Committee brought in a record-breaking $37 million Wednesday night at its annual Washington, D.C., fundraising dinner. With the help of President Donald Trump and a majority in both chambers, House Republicans are gearing up for the midterm season , needing to grow their slim majority.  

“President Trump and the NRCC didn’t just meet expectations; we shattered them,” NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., told The Daily Signal in a statement.  

“Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and the unmatched commitment of our supporters, the NRCC raised a record-breaking $36.8 million to fuel our Patriots and MAGA Majority candidates,” Hudson continued.  

“That’s a lot of money, congratulations,” Trump told Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Hudson as he took the stage at Union Station. “We will defeat the radical left Democrats and will win a midterm victory like our country has never seen,” Trump celebrated.  

The NRCC isn’t the only group of Republicans surging in fundraising. The Republican National Committee outraised the Democratic National Committee last month by over $8 million, though not including the over $17 million in debt the Democrats still owe from 2025. The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s cash on hand also overshadows the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, nearly $33 million to $30 million.  

None of this fundraising includes Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc., and its over $300 million cash on hand, intended for the midterms.  

With a razor-thin majority of 218-214, Republicans can’t afford to lose. Trump acknowledged the reality that, almost always, the party in the White House does poorly in the midterms. But the NRCC is pouring this money right into the races.  

Last week they announced the “MAGA Majority” campaign, a list of the key races they are focusing in on. According to the press release it is a “slate of strong candidates running in key battleground districts across the country who embody the Trump agenda: securing the border, lowering costs, restoring energy dominance, and putting American workers first.” 

The NRCC has picked nine candidates across California, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, New York, and Texas. Seven of the nine are attempting to flip currently blue seats.  

“This proves what we’ve been saying all along,” Hudson said, “Republicans have the momentum, the message, and the team to defy history. With President Trump leading the charge, we’re going on offense.”
