CLF heads into 2022 with the beginnings of a war chest and firepower to expand the battlefield deep into Democrat territory and win the Majority for Republicans. These numbers are a reflection of just how much more enthusiasm there is behind Republican efforts to win the House than there is behind Democrat efforts to save it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_19024786\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GettyImages-1235233913.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19024786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GettyImages-1235233913.png\" alt=\"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell(R-KY) speaks as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer along with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other members of Congress take part in a ceremony to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks on the steps of the US Capitol in Washington, DC on September 13, 2021.

Some of the top Democrat donors reportedly told Democrat leaders Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) they will not donate any more money to the party while President Joe Biden\u2019s $1.7 trillion social spending package is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/02\/01\/2022-midterms-republican-super-pacs-outraise-democratic-rivals.html\">stuck<\/a> in limbo, according to&nbsp;CNBC.<\/p>\n<p>However, one of Pelosi\u2019s aides refuted the claim, telling CNBC that the House speaker is \u201cnot aware of any donor communicating that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With just five House seats needed to take control of the majority, Republicans hope that the enthusiasm in fundraising translates into a strong turnout for November\u2019s midterm elections.

If these fundraising numbers are any indication, Republicans are in for a momentous victory this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro-Republican super PACs outraised their Democrat counterparts in 2021 going into the midterm election year.
