DCCC outraises NRCC in October

The DCCC outraised the NRCC in October, bringing in $7.6 million to the GOP’s $5.7 million. The DCCC also ended with slightly more cash on hand, $46.8 million, compared to the NRCC, $45.7 million.

Both congressional campaign committees had roughly the same cash on hand at the end of October as they did at the end of September.

On the Senate side, the NRSC slightly outraised the DSCC, $7.8 million to $7 million. But Senate Democrats have more cash on hand, $18.4 million, compared to the GOP, $14.9 million.

At the national level, things are getting dire for the DNC. The committee raised $23.1 million last month but $15 million of that came from a loan.

The RNC, meanwhile, raised $14.7 million and has $91.2 million banked. The DNC has $18.2 million in the bank.

Tariff checks. President Donald Trump’s idea of sending tariff rebate checks out to Americans has yet another critic.

Leaders of the new Congressional Territories and Commonwealths Caucus — Resident Commissioner for Puerto Rico Pablo José Hernández, a Democrat, and Guam Del. James Moylan, a Republican — sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urging him to include U.S. territories in any program and emphasizing that the relief must go through Congress.
