Democrats Raise Millions

Republicans dominate financial race heading into 2026, while Democrats scramble to control internal chaos

The Republican National Committee (RNC) delivered a crushing blow to its Democrat rivals in June, raising a staggering $16.2 million—nearly double the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) $8.6 million haul. The GOP now sits on an $80.78 million war chest, dwarfing the DNC’s meager $15.22 million.

RNC Momentum Grows as Democrats Struggle to Keep Pace

The RNC’s impressive numbers are another sign that Trump’s America First agenda continues to inspire voters and donors alike. Meanwhile, the DNC tried to spin its lackluster performance, boasting that June marked a record for grassroots donations during an off-cycle year. DNC Chair Ken Martin touted his fundraising as a sign of strength, despite his party’s clear financial disadvantage.

“Democrats are energized and ready to fight back,” Martin claimed, vowing to “defeat the toxic Republican agenda.”
But voters aren’t buying it—and neither are major donors.

Democrats in Disarray: Leadership Shakeups, Infighting, and Union Exodus

Behind closed doors, Democrats are facing deep fractures. The DNC recently reheld elections for two vice chair positions due to procedural disputes over gender rules. Even worse, gun control activist David Hogg opted out of reelection after clashing with party insiders over primary involvement.

Adding fuel to the fire, two powerful union leaders—Randi Weingarten (American Federation of Teachers) and Lee Saunders (AFSCME)—declined reappointment, citing “disagreements” with party leadership. These exits signal major cracks in the Democratic coalition heading into the critical 2026 election cycle.

GOP Leads Congressional Fundraising Battle

The Republican fundraising machine isn’t just outperforming nationally—it’s surging in House races, too. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) raked in $32.3 million in Q2, topping the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which brought in $29.1 million.

In June alone:

• NRCC: $18.1 million
• DCCC: $12.7 million

While Democrats boast slightly more cash-on-hand ($39.7M vs. $37.6M), GOP momentum is clearly accelerating, powered by grassroots enthusiasm, Trump’s leadership, and public backlash against Biden-era failures.

Bottom Line: GOP Rising, Dems Reeling

With record-breaking donations, unified messaging, and energized voters, Republicans are heading into 2026 with clear momentum. Democrats, meanwhile, are still tangled in internal disputes, losing key allies, and falling behind where it counts—in the bank.

If this trend continues, President Trump and the GOP will be well-positioned to reclaim even more ground and stop the radical Left’s agenda in its tracks.
