President Donald Trump has raised an unprecedented $1.4 billion since Election Day 2024, solidifying his control over Republican politics heading into the 2026 midterms, Fox News Digital has learned.

According to campaign officials, the president’s political operation — which includes money held by the Republican National Committee — has already secured $900 million in contributions, with additional financial commitments expected to push the total past the $1.4 billion mark.

Advisors say the staggering haul positions Trump to be “an even more dominant force” for Republicans in upcoming elections.

The record-setting fundraising will be used to help Republicans defend and expand their congressional majorities. The GOP currently holds a narrow 220–215 lead in the House and a 53–47 majority in the Senate.

“Following his historic re-election victory in 2024, President Trump has continued to break records — including in fundraising — making him an even more powerful political force heading into the midterms and beyond,” said Meredith O’Rourke, Trump’s senior advisor and National Finance Director.

Sources close to the campaign say the money will not only support congressional races but also fund initiatives the president deems “necessary and appropriate.”

In April, Trump headlined a high-profile donor event in Washington, D.C., on behalf of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), raising at least $10 million in a single night, according to a source familiar with the event.

In a historic first, Vice President JD Vance was appointed in March to serve as finance chair of the RNC — the first time a sitting vice president has taken on that role. Vance has vowed to help enact the “MAGA mandate” and expand GOP power in Congress in 2026.

The fundraising momentum underscores Trump’s continued dominance over the Republican Party and the growing war chest aimed at securing victories in next year’s pivotal midterm elections.
