House Democrats pull in big fundraising haul as they confront tricky campaign
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Tuesday it raised $44 million in the second quarter of 2024.
WASHINGTON — The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Tuesday it raised $44 million in the second quarter of 2024, filling its coffers ahead of an intense summer stretch — and as House Democrats gather the resources to navigate a tricky political environment.
The haul includes $19.7 million raised in June, according to figures shared first with NBC News. That’s more than the DCCC’s GOP counterpart in this monthly metric, as well as over the second quarter and a historic monthly and quarterly sum for the campaign arm.
“House Democrats are working hard to win back control of Congress and vacate the extreme MAGA Republican majority in November,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said in a statement, adding that the party’s candidates “will have the money, the mobilization and the message to win convincingly in the fall.”
Jeffries, who is in his first term as the House Democratic leader, has hit 25 states and Puerto Rico since January 2023 as he raises money for the party, according to a source familiar with his travel. Among the events: an annual early June “Leader’s Circle” event in La Jolla, California, with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton in attendance.
“Leader Jeffries and House Democrats are standing up to defend the rights and freedoms for all, while staying focused on creating economic opportunity for everyone,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., said in a statement.
