The House Republican campaign arm has a $720,310 edge against its Democratic counterpart in year-to-date fundraising, its first off-year lead since 2015.

Why it matters: The GOP lead is small. But it's a huge upgrade for Republicans from prior years of Democrats dominating early fundraising, including during President Trump's first term. • In 2017, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) led the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) by $8.7 million at this point in the cycle. • In 2019, the DCCC led by $21 million. • In 2023, the most recent off year, the gap was even wider at $23 million.

Yes, but: Democrats have more cash on hand, $46.6 million to the NRCC's $45.8 million. • The DCCC reported $26.6 million in Q3 receipts, outpacing the NRCC's $24 million
