As both parties brace for November’s midterm elections, the GOP has outraised Democrats when it comes to money raised by party committees, super PACs, and with candidates, according to both parties’ latest campaign finance records.

Republicans have just shy of $1 billion across organizations like the Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), and the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), combined with other outside groups in the Trump orbit.

That GOP’s standard party committees raised over half a billion dollars in 2025; when combining what elections analyst Rob Pyers calculated as the “$385 million or so more spread across the Trump SuperPAC, leadership PACs, and joint fundraising committees” of the president’s orbit, the GOP is cash-strapped as it attempts to defy historical trends and maintain its narrow control of both houses of Congress.

“The RNC closed out 2025 in a position of real strength, building a serious war chest as we head into the 2026 midterms focused on defending and expanding our Republican majorities,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters noted of his party’s positioning. “With nearly $100 million cash on hand, we’re ensuring our candidates have the resources they need to win and to push back against the far left’s radical agenda. With President Trump and our Finance Chair Vice President JD Vance leading the charge, Republicans are well positioned to secure a full four years to deliver on the America First agenda.”

Gruter’s counterparts at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) raised almost $150 million in 2026, but they only have $14.1 million cash on hand, combined with a debt of almost $20 million. The Gruters-led RNC, by contrast, has over six times the amount of cash on hand that the DNC does. Kiersten Pels, the RNC’s national press secretary, noted that the RNC has a “nearly $100 million edge on DNC.”

On the Senate side, the Sen. Tim Scott (R., S.C.)-led NRSC lapped the Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.)-helmed Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), and the Sen. John Thune (R., S.D.)-backed SLF significantly outraised the Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.)-supported Senate Majority PAC (SMP), which will go into the midterms with $12.4 million in debt. The NRSC’s communications director Joanna Rodriguez noted her committee’s successes included its “best off-year fundraising since 2021…[and] debts from winning the majority paid.” Rodriguez also pointed to the committee’s 70,000 new donors and its lowest burn rate in four cycles as other key metrics of success.

In the race for Congress, the NRCC and CLF have almost $200 million combined, whereas the House Majority PAC and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) pulled in roughly $15 million less between them. Both CLF and the NRCC outraised their Democratic Party counterparts in 2025.
