At a White House meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson, the National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, will hatch plans for Republicans to keep their House majority in the 2026 midterms after a record-breaking fundraising haul.

“Following a record-breaking fundraising quarter to begin 2026, I look forward to meeting with President Trump and the NRCC as we continue working hand-in-hand to defend and grow our House Republican majority with winning candidates across the country and a strong record of secure borders, lower costs, and a return to common sense,” Johnson told The Daily Signal.

Trump, Johnson, and Hudson will discuss Republicans’ midterm strategy at the White House on the heels of an impressive quarter of fundraising by Johnson, someone familiar with the upcoming meeting told The Daily Signal.

The trio will also discuss candidate recruitment, the source added.

The Speaker raised over $34 million in the first quarter, breaking Republican leadership fundraising records as the party prepares for the midterm cycle.

The Republican war chest is expected to help the party go on the offensive despite the historical disadvantage majority parties often have going into midterm elections.

Last night the @NRCC broke fundraising records adding almost $37 million to their “MAGA Majority” midterm war chest. “Republicans have the momentum, the message, and the team to defy history.

The speaker has given nearly $30 million to the NRCC and a record-setting $18 million directly to incumbents in the House. Overall this cycle, he has given over $64 million toward the midterms to “defend and grow the House GOP majority.”

In a press release detailing the fundraising records, Johnson says Republicans “remain on offense” heading into the midterms. He predicts that, come November, Americans will see “a clear contrast: between House Republicans’ return to common sense and real results—and Democrats’ radical, far-left agenda to reopen our borders and make life more expensive and more dangerous.”

The party was at first skeptical of Johnsons fundraising abilities when he launched into the spotlight as speaker in 2023. His predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, had raised over 100 times more than he had that year, the New York Times had reported. But Johnson quickly began raking in cash and breaking records.

Johnson’s campaign says that in this cycle alone he has raised over $116 million in “hard dollars” for House Republicans. This does not include money raised by his endorsed super PAC, the Campaign Leadership Fund.
