Exclusive – House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has launched a new Joint Fundraising Committee as he works to protect and grow a very thin Republican majority in the House in next year’s election.
The Protect The House 2024 Committee includes the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign arm of the House Republican Party, 20 state parties, and 30 incumbent Republicans in the House who are up for re-election next year. The commission’s words were first shared with Fox News on Friday.
The 30 incumbents involved won last November’s House election, the closest in the 2022 cycle, and state parties represent much of the battlefield to determine the House majority in 2024.
McCarthy’s political team says the chairman is already working to ensure Republicans have “early resources to fight the liberal money machine.” Next week in the nation’s capital, speakers will host the first major fundraiser of the cycle. He’s working to fully implement the “Commitment to America,” a policy agenda announced during last year’s campaign that McCarthy and House Republicans fought to regain a majority.
