The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), House Democrats' campaign arm, raised $22 million in the month after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race. “The DCCC raised an eye-popping $22.3 million in August, leaving the House Democratic campaign arm with more than $87 million on hand in the final stretch of the election,” the organization said in a statement. The committee said it has raised more than $250 million this campaign cycle, focused on reelecting Democrats and winning swing districts to win back the House majority. In 2024, the campaign arm has brought in $129 million, per the statement, including more than $1.2 million raised from online donations during the Democratic National Convention last month in Chicago when Vice President Harris was confirmed as the party's nominee for November. “Thanks to the leadership of Hakeem Jeffries and broad support and enthusiasm for our candidates and incumbents across the country, House Democrats are on track to reclaim the majority with less than 50 days to go until Election Day,” DCCC said in a release. The current fundraising sets a record for the organization’s “presidential cycle-to-date fundraising” and nearly outraises the funds from 2020, per the committee. With House Republicans grappling with another government shutdown deadline ahead of the election, Democrats are seeking to capitalize on the divide. “The House Republican circus is on full display as they barrel us towards a harmful government shutdown, remain blindly loyal to Donald Trump, and lie about their extreme, anti-abortion records, and that’s why voters continue to put their support behind House Democrats,” DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) said in a statement. “There is incredible enthusiasm for Democrats across the country right now," she continued, adding, "And thanks to the work of Leader Jeffries and the entire House Democratic caucus we continue to have the resources we need to harness that energy, go on offense, and to take back the House.” In June, the House GOP campaign arm announced it had outraised the DCCC in May, though the Democrats still had an advantage in cash on hand.
