The House Republican fundraising arm last week pulled in $1 million in online donations under new Speaker Mike Johnson, topping all other weekly online funding for the 2024 election cycle.
National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Jack Pandol told The Washington Times most of the money came in response to emails sent and signed by Mr. Johnson, a Louisiana Republican and a relatively unknown backbencher who was thrust into the speaker’s chair after weeks of internal fighting over GOP leadership.
The million-dollar haul could help tamp down concerns about whether Mr. Johnson can become as adept at raising money for the House GOP as his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted by a group of eight hard-line conservatives last month. Mr. Johnson will have to move quickly to try to establish a strong fundraising network ahead of the 2024 election.
