House Democrats raised $19.3 million in February, a committee record

The campaign arm for House Democrats raised $19.3 million in February, beating the committee's personal record for the month by $2.3 million, according to numbers first shared with CBS News. This record comes as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee faces an intimidating midterm election in November, with Republicans within just single digits of retaking control of the chamber.

A portion of the DCCC's haul, $5 million, comes from the Democratic National Committee as part of a $15 million dollar commitment equally split between the DCCC and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. It also includes 250,000 individual grassroots donors who contributed $7 million, with the remaining coming from higher level donors or member dues.

The DCCC has slightly led in the fundraising raise with their counterparts at the National Republican Congressional Committee this cycle. The DCCC out-raised the NRCC by less than $300,000 in January, though House Democrats raised $6.3 million more than their GOP counterparts in all of 2021, according to a CBS News analysis.
