The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee out-raised its Republican counterpart in July for the third month in a row as they look to turn the tide and win back the House in 2018.
During July, the DCCC took in $6.2 million, while the NRCC brought in only $3.8 million. Dating back to May 1, the group has hauled in $26.3 million, while the NRCC took in only $17.9 million.
"The DCCC's record-breaking July fundraising is further evidence that grassroots energy on the Democratic side is only growing stronger," said Tyler Law, a DCCC spokesman. "There's no question that Democrats are on offense deep into the map while Republicans are stuck on defense, running scared from their constituents after failing to get anything done with unified control of Washington."
The fundraising news comes amid a renewed hope among Democrats that they could take back the House in the midst of a tumultuous summer for President Trump and House Republicans, who have been unable to pass any of their top priorities into law despite controlling both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
