Punchbowl News: “Let’s be blunt: Many GOP donors have no idea who Johnson is. The Louisiana Republican has raised roughly $5.5 million during his entire congressional career; McCarthy raised more than three times that in the last quarter alone.”
“Johnson isn’t a fixture on the fundraising scene. Contemporary party leaders spend more than 100 days annually on the road raising hundreds of millions of dollars for their party committee and the party’s super PAC.
”“The NRCC isn’t having a great cycle. The committee has $36 million on hand, while the DCCC has $44 million. The DCCC has raised $93 million overall this cycle, $23 million more than the NRCC.”
