NYT: “Republican Cash Edge Threatens to Swamp Democrats in the Midterms”

February 10, 2026

The latest headline from the New York Times says it all: Republican Cash Edge Threatens to Swamp Democrats in the Midterms.

Republicans are breaking records and running laps around Democrats in the money race, and Democrat operatives are slamming the panic button. Take it from their own operatives: “Any Democrat who isn’t concerned isn’t serious.”

This comes after the NRCC smashed a 10-year record and outraised the DCCC in the first year of an election cycle, swing-district Republicans outraised vulnerable House Democrats for the fourth quarter in a row, and House Republican leadership crushed fundraising records.
