House Republicans are expecting a major boost from President Donald Trump<\/a> on Wednesday as they build resources to defend their razor-thin congressional majority in November’s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Rep. Richard Hudson, the National Republican Congressional Committee<\/a> (NRCC) chair, is expected to announce a major haul at the group’s annual fundraising dinner in the nation’s capital, which will be headlined by Trump.<\/p>\n

The NRCC is neck and neck with the rival Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee<\/a> (DCCC) as it raked in $117.2 million last year, its best-ever off-election year haul other than 2021, when Democrats controlled the White House and Congress. While the DCCC out-raised the NRCC last month by nearly $4 million, both committees had roughly the same amount of cash in their coffers.<\/p>\n

“We know Republicans have seemingly infinite money that they have been raising,” DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington State told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“We’re neck and neck with our Republican counterparts, and it’s because people know how important it is that we take back the House and that we have a check on this administration.<\/p>\n

“I think that we have an incredible opportunity because the American people understand we have great candidates, and we’re going to have the resources to get their message out.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
