Mike Johnson, GOP Leaders Court Politically Toxic Elon Musk For Money

House Republicans and the NRCC are so desperate for campaign cash they are turning to their their wildly unpopular billionaire benefactor

Democrats are overperforming in special election after special election. The DCCC nearly doubled the NRCC’s monthly fundraising haul in August. The Big, Ugly Law is the most unpopular piece of legislation signed into law this century. House Democrats are winning on the generic congressional ballot.

The Republican plan to get out of their mess?

In 2024, Musk spent nearly $20 million to help House Republicans — yet their already tiny majority shrank even further. What’s more, he poured millions into a Wisconsin state Supreme Court race — only to lose badly, including in two DCCC-targeted districts.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Republicans passed their Big, Ugly Law for billionaires like Elon Musk, and threatened gutting Medicaid and decimating rural hospitals in doing so. Now, MAGA Mike Johnson and his leadership team are courting Musk to bail out their weak GOP majority in the midterms. This will be a massive mistake and the vulnerable House Republicans will pay the price.”
