House Republicans are raking in cash like never before, leaving their Democratic counterparts scrambling to keep up.
Breitbart reported that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has shattered records with a staggering $24 million haul in the third quarter of 2025, outpacing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and building a war chest that could redefine the midterm landscape.
From July to September 2025, the NRCC pulled in that massive $24 million, with $14 million of it flooding in during September alone. Compare that to September 2023, an off year, when the NRCC raised just $9.3 million—quite the leap, wouldn’t you say?
Even looking at the full third quarter of 2023, their $18.5 million total pales next to this year’s numbers, showing a clear upward trajectory for Republican fundraising muscle.
For the year so far, the NRCC has amassed $93 million, with $46 million currently sitting in the bank, ready to fuel campaigns in swing states nationwide.
In the last reported quarter, the NRCC topped the DCCC with $32.3 million to $29.1 million, a gap that suggests Democrats are playing catch-up in the money game.
Zooming in on individual candidates, the median targeted Republican incumbent had $1.7 million in their campaign account by the end of September 2025, edging out the median targeted Democrat’s $1.5 million.
Interestingly, the median fundraising for targeted Republicans was $614,000 compared to $612,000 for targeted Democrats—a razor-thin difference, but every penny counts in these tight races.
Despite the close individual numbers, only three of 31 House Republicans targeted by the DCCC raised more this quarter than the last, hinting at a plateau for some—yet their cash-on-hand advantage, built earlier in 2025, still looms large.
The NRCC isn’t shy about their success, declaring, “This announcement comes as NRCC Patriots in swing districts have outraised vulnerable incumbent Democrats for the third consecutive quarter.” Talk about a victory lap—though one wonders if Democrats are even in the same race at this point.
NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) doubled down, stating, “House Republicans are firing on all cylinders. Our majority funded the federal government, and we’re delivering for working families and building unstoppable momentum heading into 2026.”
While the enthusiasm is palpable, let’s not forget that momentum needs policy wins, not just dollar signs, to truly resonate with voters.
Meanwhile, a government shutdown has dragged on for 20 days, with Democrats rejecting a clean continuing resolution proposed by Republicans, opting instead for a counterproposal loaded with eyebrow-raising spending demands.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) didn’t hold back, pointing out, “They would send a half a billion dollars to liberal news outlets by refunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It would also restore up to $5 billion of American taxpayer funds for wasteful spending for international projects.”
When hardworking Americans are tightening belts, funneling millions to far-off projects like climate resilience in Honduras or locust control in Africa—also in their plan—feels like a slap in the face to fiscal responsibility.
