DCCC Outraises NRCC In August

The DCCC outraised the NRCC in August, boosting the Democrats' efforts at retaining the House this fall.

The DCCC is reporting having pulled in $8.32M in August, according to numbers provided to Hotline On Call. The NRCC will report $6.64M.

Those numbers are almost an exact reversal of how the committees performed in July. That month, the NRCC outraised the DCCC by a $8.56M to $6.22M margin.

The DCCC boasts a strong cash on hand advantage over the NRCC as it heads into the final stretch of the campaign. It has $39M in his bank account to the NRCC's $25.6M.

The Republican committee, however, managed to hold on to more money during August. The NRCC only spent $3.1M, while the DCCC dished out $5.08M.

The DCCC's report follows the DSCC also reporting a strong month on Monday, hauling in $7.42M to the NRSC's $6.05M.
