Trump administration live updates: Judge to hear arguments in Harvard University suit over research funding cuts
The Democratic National Committee is touting significant fundraising numbers this morning on the heels of the monthly campaign finance filing deadline, announcing they’ve raised more than $50 million in 2025.
The DNC’s $8.6 million raised from last month helps make for the committee’s best off-year June ever, according to the committee. (Odd years typically don’t see the kind of fundraising the parties enjoy during national election years.)
Still, the DNC is trailing the Republican National Committee, with the GOP holding the White House. The RNC raised $16.2 million in June and $96.4 million over the first half of 2025, according to its latest FEC report, while the DNC raised $8.6 million in June and $69.2 million in receipts in the first half of 2025.
Altogether, DNC chair Ken Martin, who took the helm in February, raised more money in his first five months than any other chair in DNC history, the committee says.
“The DNC is breaking grassroots fundraising records, bringing on more volunteers than ever, and raising record-setting funds to beat Republicans,” Martin said in a statement.
The DNC is focused this summer on messaging the impacts of Republicans’ big tax and spending law, hosting events everywhere from concerts to sporting events to state fairs. The DNC says it has hosted more than 130 town halls across all 50 states since February.
