Mike Johnson raises record-breaking haul in final quarter before 2024 election

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reported a record-breaking fundraising haul for the third quarter of the year, giving a boost to House Republicans as they look to hold on to their slim majority next year.

Johnson raised $27.5 million between July 1 and Sept. 30, including more than $19.4 million for his committees and another $8.1 million for individual members and candidates. That’s the most money a Republican speaker has ever raised in the third quarter of a presidential election year, according to the speaker’s office.
