WTAS about the NRCC’s massive fundraising haul

The NRCC announced a record-shattering May fundraising haul yesterday.

Here’s what folks are saying about it…

“Closing the gap between its Democratic counterparts”

Washington Examiner: “The latest report brings the NRCC to $147.4 million raised so far this cycle, roughly $9.5 million more than the previous presidential cycle. The record-breaking haul leaves the NRCC with $64.6 million cash on hand, closing the gap between its Democratic counterparts.”

“The Democrats’ second-lowest monthly fundraising total this year since its $9.5 million January haul.”

POLITICO: As general election campaigning picks up in down-ballot races, both House Democrats’ and House Republicans’ campaign arms said they set new May fundraising records. And for the first time this year, the National Republican Congressional Committee outraised its Democratic counterpart. The House GOP’s campaign arm brought in $12.6 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s $11.9 million, which was the Democrats’ second-lowest monthly fundraising total this year since its $9.5 million January haul.

“Eclipsed the $11.9 million previous record the rivaling DCCC totaled in May”

Breitbart: “The NRCC touted the “Committee record” for May of an election year, which eclipsed the $11.9 million previous record the rivaling Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) totaled in May.”

“32% were first-time givers to the NRCC”

Punchbowl News: “The group raised $1 million from small-dollar donors in the days after Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts in his New York City hush-money case. Of these donors, 32% were first-time givers to the NRCC.”
