NRCC rakes in record-shattering fundraising haul
Last night, the NRCC raised a record-breaking $35.2 MILLION at the annual President’s Dinner event with President Donald Trump.
In just four weeks, the event brought in an extraordinary fundraising total — eclipsing the $30 million raised over 11 months at the previous 2019 dinner with President Trump.
“This record-breaking haul proves what we already know: Americans across the country are fired up to grow our House majority and continue our hard work advancing President Trump’s America First agenda.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

President Donald Trump touted the record-breaking fundraising numbers garnered by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) during its annual president’s dinner Tuesday evening.
“You know, we’ve done very well in this room before,” Trump told attendees at the annual dinner Tuesday night. “But right now we broke every record. I just heard from Mike Johnson, he said, ‘We broke every record, sir.’ There is over $35 million. That’s not bad, for an evening.”
The fundraising numbers achieved during Tuesday night’s dinner rival what the NRCC has garnered across entire quarters. In July, the group highlighted a “record-shattering” fundraising haul for the second quarter of 2024, which was only $2 million more than what the NRCC was able to garner Tuesday night.
Fox News was first to report, in advance of Tuesday night’s dinner, that, according to a source familiar, the event would bring in eight-figures in fundraising for the NRCC.
“Next year we’ll do 45 or 50 million, right?” Trump asked the crowd, garnering cheers. “A lot of people, you broke your record attendance, and you broke your money record, and that’s a great tribute to the Republicans and the party and everything it stands for.”

“We have some unbelievable supporters of our House Republican majority with us, as you know, and with the help of everyone in this room the next year’s Republican Party is going to defy history. We’re going to really defy it, and we already are.”

Hudson, a North Carolina Republican and 12-year veteran of the House, said that “the President understands that he’s got to keep the House majority in the midterm so that he has a four-year runway, instead of a two-year runway to get his agenda enacted.”
And pointing to the House Democratic leader, Hudson added, “Speaker Hakeem Jeffries would fight President Trump on every front, and it would be really difficult for him to achieve his agenda. President Trump understands it’s important to hold the House and he’s, he’s been extremely helpful to us and we appreciate it.”
