Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and allied groups have already raised tens of millions of dollars to help defend the Republican House majority in 2026.
In the first six months of 2025, the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), a campaign super PAC that supports GOP House candidates, raised $32.7 million.
The American Action Network (AAN), a nonprofit advocacy group that is a sister organization to the CLF, additionally raised $28 million. Both entities reach voters in contested districts through advertisements, calls, and campaigns.
The fundraising will be vital for Republicans as they attempt to hang on to their razor-thin House majority during the midterm elections, which tend to favor the party not in the White House.
For its part, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is already running ads against swing district GOP incumbents, such as Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin and Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania, accusing them of attacking rural hospitals with the recently enacted Republican budget reconciliation bill’s restructuring of Medicaid.
