WATCH LIVE: President Trump Delivers Remarks at National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner
President Trump will deliver remarks tonight to members of Congress at the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner.
Trump’s keynote speech at the dinner comes as Republicans vie to maintain control of the House and Senate in the critical 2026 midterm elections.
The dinner is reportedly expected to raise at least $10 million for the campaign arm of House Republicans.
Both parties are already mobilizing for the midterm elections next November, which will determine the fate of the Trump Administration and our country.
Per Fox:
Asked what concerns him the most when it comes to defending the House majority, NRCC chair Rep. Richard Hudson said in a Fox News Digital interview on Monday that “Democrats have a structural advantage when it comes to fundraising. They always seem to have just mountains of money. So I think the amount of money the Democrats raise is probably the only thing that really concerns me.”
Hudson, a North Carolina Republican and 12-year veteran of the House, said that “the President understands that he’s got to keep the House majority in the midterm so that he has a four-year runway, instead of a two-year runway to get his agenda enacted.”
And pointing to the House Democratic leader, Hudson added, “Speaker Hakeem Jeffries would fight President Trump on every front, and it would be really difficult for him to achieve his agenda. President Trump understands it’s important to hold the House and he’s, he’s been extremely helpful to us and we appreciate it.”
Hours before Trump was scheduled to attend the NRCC fundraiser, the House Democrats’ campaign arm took aim at nearly three dozen Republican-held seats in the chamber as they aim to win back the majority.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) on Tuesday morning released its initial 2026 target list, which included 35 GOP-controlled seats, and launched an effort to fundraise for the party’s eventual nominees in each of the districts.
During his speech tonight, the President will likely call on Congress members to pass laws that codify his agenda and executive orders and reinforce his current policies against activist judges and a potential Democratic majority in 2027.
During a press briefing earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that President Trump is “counting on” House Republicans to pass the Senate-approved budget.
