House Speaker Mike Johnson raised $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2026. The total brings his 2026 fundraising above $53 million and his election-cycle total past $135 million, Washington Examiner reported. Johnson transferred an average of $100,000 to incumbent Republicans in battleground districts during the quarter.

He has distributed more than $500,000 to two dozen such incumbents through his joint fundraising committee this cycle. Johnson also sent an average of $150,000 to Republican challengers seeking to flip Democratic seats in the November elections. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise raised $9 million in the same quarter.

Johnson had raised a record $34 million in the first quarter of 2026. Johnson has given more than $80 million to House Republicans, campaigns, committees, and state parties this cycle, with $38 million directed to the National Republican Congressional Committee. He has raised an additional $15.5 million for digital, mail, and events this cycle.

Republicans hold a razor-thin majority in the House. Johnson stated that House Republicans are united, well-funded, and on offense. He described the contest as a choice between Republican common sense and Democrats' embrace of crazy and Communism.

On Tuesday he told reporters the election amounts to a philosophical war to save the nation.
