House Democrats' campaign arm rakes in nearly $40 million in second quarter
House Democrats are outpacing their own previous fundraising records, bringing in nearly $40 million in the second quarter -- a signal of both the party’s enthusiasm in the final stretch of the cycle ahead of November and the difficult road ahead for the GOP seeking to take back the majority.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm for Democrats in the lower chamber, raised a whopping $39 million over the last three months, besting its previous record for the second reporting period of the year.
In 2018, the House fell to Democrats after an eight year drought in the minority. They gained a 40-seat majority, propelled by unprecedented fundraising. That year, the party raised $37.7 million in the second quarter.
"Our second quarter fundraising is proof that Democrats across the country know what is at stake in this election and they are digging deep to ensure we not only protect, but also expand the House Democratic majority. Our record-breaking second quarter haul allows us to continue pushing deeper into Republican-held territory," Cheri Bustos, the chairwoman of the DCCC, said in a statement.
