Speaker Mike Johnson has raised more than $50 million for House Republicans since the start of the 2026 election cycle, according to figures his team plans to release Tuesday. The total includes $18.65 million collected in the second quarter, with $14 million already transferred to the National Republican Congressional Committee and $10.5 million routed directly to individual GOP campaigns—both record sums for a sitting House speaker. The speaker’s haul comes as campaigns file their second-quarter reports with the Federal Election Commission. Preliminary filings show Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican up for re-election next year, brought in $2.41 million and ended June with $5.26 million on hand. On the House side, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reported $627,788 in receipts and $641,796 cash, while Rep. Danny K. Davis, an Illinois Democrat facing retirement speculation, raised $46,457 and held $114,932. First-term North Carolina Democrat Don Davis, a top NRCC target, collected $689,300 and reported $1.11 million in the bank. NRCC Chair Richard Hudson told colleagues every incumbent in the committee’s “Patriot” program surpassed $750,000 last quarter, with half topping $1 million. Johnson’s fundraising blitz coincides with a high-stakes budget fight in the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune is still short of the 51 votes needed to advance a $9.4 billion rescissions package backed by former President Donald Trump. Moderate Republicans, led by Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, are withholding support until the White House details how planned cuts—including more than $1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and reductions to the PEPFAR global AIDS program—would be implemented. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought is scheduled to brief GOP senators later today, but aides say the timing of the first procedural vote remains uncertain.
