I Never Thought I'd Say This About the Dems, Especially Regarding This Aspect of Elections

It was always the same story in any election cycle: the Democrats would have the larger war chest. It’s been that way forever, which made it funny whenever a liberal complained about money in politics, super PACs, and the Citizens United decision. They were the cash cows. Now, in 2026, with a damaged brand, crazy candidates, and no real agenda, it’s the GOP that’s saying, ‘hide the money y’all, there’s poor people around.’ And that’s not an exaggeration—the National Republican Congressional Committee has reached platinum level status or whatever frequent flyer category George Clooney’s character clinched in Up in the Air (via Axios):

The NRCC raised $35.4 million in Q2, and $17.6 million in June, per release. They hold $92.7 million in cash on hand, maintaining the advantage over their Dem committee counterpart https://t.co/YTx9XeJi9S

The House Republicans' campaign arm brought in $17.6 million in June, leaving them with $92.7 million in cash on hand, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee is entering the final midterm stretch with a cash advantage over House Democrats, giving GOP leaders another talking point as they try to defy the historical trend that typically favors the party out of power.
The NRCC outraised its counterpart, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, by $1.2 million in June.
That brought the NRCC's cash on hand to $92.7 million, versus $79 million for the DCCC.
