News. Just six months out from the midterms, the NRCC is arguing in a new memo released Tuesday that the Republican financial advantage will help protect its House majority.
The NRCC isn’t deterred by House Democrats who’ve become increasingly optimistic that President Donald Trump’s sagging approval ratings and rising gas prices will lead to a GOP defeat in the fall. Instead, the NRCC points to Republican deep pockets as the key to victory.
“Between the NRCC’s financial advantage, President Trump’s MAGA Inc. having $347 million on hand, CLF’s $91.4 million on hand, and the RNC’s $116 million on hand, Republicans are in a strong financial position with six months until election day,” the memo reads.
Despite Trump’s new rating lows among voters, the NRCC is arguing that having Trump and other top administration figures visit battleground regions will motivate MAGA voters this fall.
“The president and his political operation are scaling up travel into key battleground states and districts, driving turnout among the Trump coalition while expanding outreach to critical swing voters who will decide the majority,” the NRCC writes.
The House GOP campaign arm is also pushing back against the narrative of a lagging economy, citing a recent Harvard-Harris poll where 48% of voters rated the economy as “strong.”
