With the 2024 election less than a year away, the Democratic Party’s main fundraising apparatuses are taking the lead from the Republican Party.

According to the latest Federal Election Commission filings for the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Democratic National Committee, the DNC had raised about $92.9 million in total receipts in 2023 between the beginning of the year and Oct. 31. During the same period, the RNC raised about $74 million.
