Jeffries Begins to Bring in Big Money

“One of the big questions heading into this Congress was whether House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would be able to fill Nancy Pelosi’s shoes in the fundraising space. Pelosi, of course, was a legendary fundraiser during her two decades atop the House Democratic Caucus,” Punchbowl News reports.

“We’re beginning to get some answers. The DCCC raised nearly twice as much as the NRCC in January. Democrats raised $8.1 million and Republicans took in $4.5 million.”

“According to internal party data, Jeffries took in $5.2 million of the DCCC’s January total. In other words, Jeffries himself raised more than the entire NRCC. House Democrats raised or gave $1.8 million.”
