Johnson touts GOP unity over record-breaking fundraising numbers ahead of RNC

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is touting unity within his party as the House GOP's campaign arm celebrates breaking a record in election year fundraising.

"This week, House Democrats voted to let illegal aliens vote in American elections, voted against protecting girls sports and fell further into disarray following their role in the greatest political cover-up in history when it comes to President Biden's fitness for office," Johnson told Fox News Digital. "At the same time, House Republicans passed commonsense legislation and put up record-setting fundraising numbers to grow our majority.

"As Republicans head to Milwaukee to nominate President Trump, our party has never been more united, energized and equipped with the resources needed to win up and down the ballot."

It comes as the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the House GOP’s campaign arm, announced it raised $37 million in the second quarter of 2024, its highest-ever election year total for that time period.

The NRCC also said it had the best June on record, with $14.3 million of that total number coming in one month alone.

It’s served to further push back questions over whether Johnson can match the fundraising prowess of his predecessor, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Johnson himself brought in $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2024.

His numbers, along with the NRCC's total and the House GOP leadership-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund's announced $46.4 million raised, mean House Republicans have added over $100 million to their war chest in this time period.

The haul also comes before the Republican National Convention (RNC)
