As of July 31, 2025, the Republican National Committee (RNC) holds a substantial cash advantage over the Democratic National Committee (DNC), with $84.3 million in cash on hand compared to the DNC's $13.9 million, according to Politico. This represents a $70.4 million difference, marking the lowest cash reserves for the DNC in the past five years. The fundraising gap coincides with reports of the Democratic Party struggling to register voters and experiencing a decline in support. Meanwhile, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings indicate that House Democrats have outraised House Republicans, but Senate Republicans have raised more funds than Senate Democrats. The RNC's financial lead positions it strongly heading into the 2026 election cycle. Political analysts also discussed challenges ahead for legislative priorities such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and examined electoral prospects for candidates like Mike Rogers in Michigan post-2024 election.
