The Democratic National Committee and its congressional committees are keeping up their winning streak against the Republican Party.
Between April 15 and April 20, the Democratic Party and Republican Party’s main fundraising committees for federal elections published their March financial statements.
Even with new leadership at the RNC, the DNC and other Democratic committees are taking in considerably more money than the GOP.
March marked the first month with new RNC leadership. Chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump took leadership of the RNC on March 8. The pair are pledged to operate the party with a focus on reelecting former President Donald Trump.
The RNC and DNC are the primary committees of their respective parties.
In March, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee outraised the National Republican Congressional Committee. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, however, bested the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
The committees exist primarily to raise money and donate to the campaigns of candidates running for seats in the House or Senate.
For the two bodies focused on the House, the NRCC brought in about $16.2 million, while the DCCC took in about $21.4 million. The NRCC spent less, about $5.5 million against about $9.4 million.
The Democrats enjoy a significant advantage in cash on hand, however.
In a statement, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene cheered the news.
“The public knows that House Republicans have nothing to show from their time in the majority except chaos and dysfunction,” Ms. DelBene said.
Nevertheless, the Democrats retained a cash-on-hand advantage in the bodies focused on the Senate. The DSCC had about $41 million in the bank, while the NRSC held about $36.5 million.
Online, the Democratic Party benefits from a gigantic cash-on-hand advantage.
In the 118th Congress, Republicans are still the majority party in the House despite some departures.
In the Senate, Republicans hold 49 of the 100 seats and Democrats hold 48.
During the same three-month period, Act Blue raked in about $364.9 million.
