"The NRCC is on offense and fueled by unstoppable momentum and widespread support," NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella emphasized.
Marinella claimed that "while out of touch House Democrats are fighting amongst themselves, we're charging toward 2026 with unmatched energy, ready to grow our House majority and continue delivering results for the American people."
The NRCC's first-quarter haul does not include the eye-popping $35.2 million it says it brought in at a fundraiser earlier this month in the nation's capital that was headlined by President Donald Trump. Those funds will be included in the committee's second quarter figures.
The rival Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) had yet to announce its first quarter fundraising at the time this report was posted. The DCCC outraised the NRCC $11.1 million to $9.2 million in February fundraising.
Republicans currently control the House with a fragile 220-213 majority, with two blue-leaning vacant seats likely to be back in the hands of Democrats when special elections in those districts are held later this year.

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."

The DCCC is taking aim at nearly three dozen Republican-held seats in the chamber as it aims to win back the majority. Earlier this month, the House Democrats' campaign arm released its initial 2026 target list, which included 35 GOP-controlled seats, and launched an effort to fundraise for the party's eventual nominees in each of the districts.
The DCCC emphasized that their moves signal that "Democrats are on offense and poised to win the majority in 2026."
