House GOP Outpaces Democrats in Fundraising Battle

Recent campaign finance reports show both parties ramping up fundraising ahead of the 2026 midterms, with House Republican leadership and allied groups raising tens of millions to defend swing districts. Ten GOP incumbents each surpassed $1 million in quarterly fundraising, while Democratic leaders are targeting these seats with significant ad spending. Senate Democrats Jon Ossoff and Cory Booker lead with substantial cash reserves, holding $15.5 million and nearly $20 million, respectively. In battleground House races, Democrats like Adam Gray and Eileen Laubacher have notable cash advantages, but some Republican incumbents such as David Valadao also report strong financial positions. Potential 2028 presidential hopefuls, including Ro Khanna and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, continue to build their national profiles through impressive fundraising. The escalating financial competition reflects the high stakes as both parties prepare for a closely contested fight for control of Congress.
