The Republican National Committee is starting the 2026 election cycle with a notable advantage over its Democratic counterpart, after raising more than $172.2 million last year, according to the latest Federal Election Commission filings.
The RNC’s fundraising tally is buoyed by the fact that it ended 2025 with $95 million in cash on hand. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee raised nearly $145.8 million in 2025 and ended the year with only $14 million in the bank. Adding to its misfortune, the DNC racked up $17.5 million in debt.
