Trump, GOP Build Massive War Chest Lead over DNC Ahead of 2026 Elections

pgnewser February 5, 2026 0

The RNC has $95 million cash in hand compared to the DNC, which has $14 million cash in hand, but $17 million in debt. The RNC is also debt-free. As of the end of 2025, Trump’s Super PAC, MAGA Inc., has raised $289 million in 2025 alone. MAGA Inc. is the biggest Super PAC, with Fairshake, a “Pro-crypto” Super PAC, coming in second at $194 million. A distant third was Leading the Future, a Pro-AI Super PAC, coming in at $39 million.

Trump’s Massive Fundraising Boosts GOP Midterm Hopes – slaynews.com

President Donald Trump’s massive fundraising has built a financial juggernaut that could rewrite the rules of midterm elections for Republicans in 2026.

Trump and allied Republican groups have stockpiled $375 million as of the end of 2025.

The figure towers over Democrat reserves, with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) holding just $14 million while still burdened by $17 million in debt.

This cash advantage, bolstered by the Republican National Committee’s $95 million on hand, has GOP strategists hopeful of defying the historical trend where the incumbent president’s party loses congressional seats during midterms.

Meanwhile, Trump’s super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc. (MAGA Inc.), raised an unprecedented $289 million in 2025, fueling optimism for aggressive campaign support.

According to recent Federal Election Commission reports, the Republican Party has almost $700 million in cash on hand across six different funding groups. The Democrats have $167 million cash on hand, but the Democratic National Committee is in debt.

“The [Republican National Committee] closed out 2025 in a position of real strength, building a serious war chest as we head into the 2026 midterms focused on defending and expanding our Republican majorities,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters.

SCOTUS Helps Dems in 2026 with California Gerrymandering Approval

The U.S. Supreme Court has officially approved the racist gerrymandered California map created by the DNC, with not one conservative judge dissenting. The ruling means anything goes as far as gerrymandering is concerned, and other states are sure to follow, both blue and red. SCOTUS offered no comment in their approval.

SCOTUS Allows California’s Gerrymandered Map – PJ Media

The U.S. Supreme Court might have just helped Democrats defeat a Republican majority for the 2026 midterm election.

California Republicans filed to block the blatant gerrymandering in their state last month, but the Supreme Court — despite supposedly having a conservative majority that took an oath to uphold the Constitution — sided with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Inferno) Wednesday, according to The Epoch Times.

Back in October, Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) slammed the redrawn congressional map, saying: “California is already #1 in the nation for poverty, unemployment, and homelessness. So now Newsom has set his sights on a new distinction: #1 in gerrymandering. Princeton’s Gerrymander Project called the Prop. 50 map one of the two worst gerrymanders in the last 50 years.”

The most shocking part is that not even the staunchest conservatives on the court, Justices Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, reportedly dissented. The Epoch Times reported that the court did not explain why it ruled as it did and why there was no dissension.

Every so often there’s a piece of content in The New York Times or a similar publication that’s meant to create suspicion but without saying exactly why, usually for the purpose of politicizing something mundane. The story this week about National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard being on site during an FBI operation in Atlanta is one of those pieces of content, but in this case, the reason for the manufactured suspicion is obvious.

The Times on Monday wrote that it was “unusual” for Gabbard to appear at an FBI field office following the agency’s seizure of 2020 ballots from an election center in the ever-so-seedy Fulton County. You know, the place where election officials just admitted to improperly certifying hundreds of thousands of ballots in violation of the election rules. “[H]er continued presence has raised eyebrows given that her role overseeing the nation’s intelligence agencies does not include on-site involvement in criminal investigative work,” the article, reported by a grand total of three people, said.

The dramatic family story Maryland Gov. Wes Moore often tells on the campaign trail has helped power his rise as a national Democratic figure. But according to reporting by Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon, the tale does not hold up against historical records.

Moore, widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, frequently recounts how his grandfather fled South Carolina as a child in the 1920s after the Ku Klux Klan targeted the family. Moore says his great-grandfather, a Black minister, enraged the Klan with sermons condemning racism, forcing the family to escape Charleston in the dead of night to avoid a lynching before resettling in Jamaica.

It is a gripping narrative Moore has repeated for years, including during his successful 2022 run for governor. He first told the story in a 2014 memoir and has since framed it as a defining example of American injustice and perseverance.

I’ve got bad news for conservative readers: The Democrats have every meaningful advantage for the 2026 midterms. According to the betting markets, there’s nearly an 80% probability the Dems will win control of the House of Representatives.

And honestly? That number is too low. (I’m guessing there’s a percentage of conservative gamblers who’re betting with their hearts, not their heads.)

It’ll probably hit the mid-90s by Sept.

Which means, the GOP would be wise to expedite its legislation ASAP and then pull up the ladder well before the end of the term, because once the Dems control the House, the gig is up. That’s the end of President Donald Trump’s legislative legacy.

And his final two years as president will be spent dodging subpoenas, battling with congressional committees, and being impeached (probably more than once). Get ready for two long years of government shutdowns and grandstanding gridlock.

The Dems aren’t even being coy about what they’re planning. This NBC News story ran yesterday evening:

Facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

DNC Texas Wins Reduces Effective Majority to One

pgnewser February 3, 2026 0

Christian Menefee’s unexpected special U.S. House election victory in a GOP-majority Texas district has taken the GOP majority in the House down to 218-214. This means that if just ONE GOP representative fails to vote the party line, this produces a 216-216 tie.

The circumstances of the win for the DNC in Texas have yet to be analyzed, but initial evidence suggests voter turnout on the GOP side led to the unexpected win. If so, the seat is sure to flip back to the GOP in a few months; if not, this is a bellwether worth noting.

The House Republican majority just got reduced to a perilously slim one-vote margin thanks to a Democrat’s victory in Texas over the weekend.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., swore in newly minted Rep. Christian Menefee, D-Texas, on Monday evening, bringing the overall House of Representatives margin to 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats.

That means if a bill gets no Democratic support and the House is in full attendance, losing more than one GOP vote will result in a 216-216 tie — meaning it would fail to pass.

Trump Pushes for National GOP Midterm Convention

President Donald Trump is hoping to use RNC power to rally for a GOP midterm win by creating a National Midterm Convention event. Bylaws have recently been changed to allow for this event to happen.

Trump, RNC Plan Unprecedented ‘Midterm Convention’ Ahead Of Crucial Elections – trendingpoliticsnews.com

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has approved plans for a historic “midterm convention” ahead of this year’s congressional elections. The rule change comes as President Donald Trump has vowed to be actively involved on the campaign trail, especially in swing districts and tight congressional races.

RNC members approved the rule change during the committee’s winter meeting in California. The RNC unanimously amended its bylaws, specifically Rule 13, to allow Chairman Joe Gruters to convene a “special ceremonial convention” outside of presidential election cycles.

Previously, party rules limited conventions to every four years for nominating presidential candidates. The new provision requires at least 60 days’ notice for the event, which is expected to largely mirror presidential conventions with a focus on rallies, speeches and addresses from candidates, as well as senior GOP leaders and President Trump.

Elon Musk is once again opening his checkbook to influence American politics, pouring millions into Republican efforts to hold Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, according to new campaign finance disclosures reported by both Newsmax and Politico, despite flirting with the idea of creating a third party last year. 

Politico reported that Musk “poured $10 million into two major Republican super PACs at the end of last year,” splitting the donations evenly between the Congressional Leadership Fund and the Senate Leadership Fund, “two groups that aim to help the GOP keep control of Congress this year.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO gave $5 million to each group in December, marking his second round of contributions to both super PACs during the current election cycle.

“It was Musk’s second round of donations to both groups this cycle, having previously given in June,” Politico noted, adding that those earlier donations came “amid his feud with Trump.”

The Supreme Court last week ordered California Democrats to respond within a week to a Republican-backed request seeking to block the state’s newly drawn congressional maps from being used in the 2026 elections.

The move, issued by Justice Elena Kagan, who is handling the emergency injunction request, caught many court watchers off guard. Given the court’s recent decision to allow Texas Republicans to keep their mid-decade redistricting plan, most expected the justices to let California’s Democrat-drawn map stand without intervention.

California Republicans argue the new maps violate the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution by relying on race, rather than politics, to redraw at least one congressional district.

President Donald Trump appears to be backing down in Minneapolis — not because the situation has improved, but because Democrat officials who are still openly declaring their opposition to immigration enforcement have apparently pressured him into retreat.

After months of open defiance of federal immigration law, weeks of unrest, and a second fatal shooting involving federal agents, the Trump administration demanded on Sunday that Walz, Frey, and other Democrat leaders “cooperate … to enforce our Nation’s Laws.” In part, he specifically called on state and local prisons to turn over illegal aliens in custody and called on local police to “assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.” But two days later, the president is reportedly planning to withdraw some forces in Minneapolis.

And — true to “knucklehead” form — he got the comparison completely wrong.

As Fox News reported, Walz was engaged in a lengthy discourse about Saturday’s shooting of an anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis — a discourse that was equally partisan and predictable — when he strayed into the dark days of World War II.

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said.

“Somebody is going to write that children’s story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now.”

Rep. John James, a Michigan Republican running for governor, has launched a new ad tying the fate of Trump’s second term and the America First agenda to James’ home state of Michigan.

On Thursday, James released an ad titled “Impeached,” claiming that Michigan, with its open U.S. Senate seat and four competitive House races, is “ground zero” in the fight to keep Congress under Republican control.

Recent polling indicates that James holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary and a slight edge in the general election in November.

The ad suggests that if Congress falls into the hands of the Democrats after the 2026 midterms, Trump will be “impeached” and his “Cabinet dragged before hearings led by AOC and Rashida Tlaib,” referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Tlaib (D-Mich.).

In the ad, James, currently a Michigan congressman who has “backed President Trump every time,” makes the pitch to MAGA Michiganders that his election to be their next governor is vital to protecting Trump and his ability to continue implementing his policies: “If you care about President Trump, you must stand up for John James.”
