This optimism is largely due to Republicans surpassing Democrats in fundraising through September 2025, a feat last achieved in 2015, a year before Republicans secured major wins in Congress and the presidency. Key figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson and NRCC chair Richard Hudson have contributed to this fundraising success,helping the GOP edge out the Democrats by $723,000.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes improved Republican messaging, especially amid a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccarthy-dismisses-motion-to-vacate-threat-ahead-of-house-vote-on-45-day-continuing-resolution\/\" title=\"McCarthy rejects motion to remove threat before ... vote on 45-day resolution.\">recent government shutdown<\/a>, and President Trump&#8217;s approval ratings remaining high in the upper 40s.

Sweep Legislative ...s\">competitive swing districts<\/a>, have increased significantly, and polling shows a closer race versus the Democrats than in prior midterms. Additionally, Trump maintains strong support among his voter base, with favorable ratings holding steady among 2024 Trump voters participating in the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>these factors suggest Republicans feel they have momentum to avoid a repeat of the 2018 midterm losses and potentially secure victories in the House in the next election cycle.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">&lsquo;Big Mo&rsquo; behind House GOP boosts confidence of midterm election victory<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2203905\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House Republican leaders are feeling good about their chances in next year&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/midterm-elections\/\">midterm elections<\/a> now that they have edged out the Democrats in 2025 fundraising through September.<\/p>\n<p>The last time that happened was in 2015, the year before Republicans won the House and Senate and President Donald Trump shocked the world by beating Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was considered a shoo-in to succeed former President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3861714\/historian-craig-shirley-dismisses-trump-ballroom-critics\/\">Historian dismisses Trump critics: &lsquo;White House a work in progress since 1800&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3861253\/hispanic-population-nearly-doubles-fueled-by-bidens-border-crisis\/\">Hispanic population nearly doubles, fueled by Biden&rsquo;s border crisis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3860240\/charlie-kirk-media-research-center-free-speech-award\/\">Charlie Kirk given free speech award in rare move<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Typically, the party with the White House stumbles in the midterm elections, and that happened after Trump&rsquo;s first election. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3485205\/republicans-better-shape-2026-midterm-elections-than-2018\/\">In 2018,<\/a> Democrats won 41 extra seats to take back control of the House, where they embarked on an impeachment frenzy.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, leading up to those elections, the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dccc\/\">Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee<\/a> outraised the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nrcc\/\">National Republican Congressional Committee<\/a> by $8.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>But this year, with the help of popular House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and NRCC chief Rep.
