That haul follows another record month for the NRCC in January, in which the committee raised $10 million. That outpaced the committee’s counterparts at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, who reported raising $7.8 million in January.

“Republicans are determined to deliver on the promises we made to the American people, and these historic fundraising numbers are a testament to their belief in our ability to execute on their behalf,” said Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), the NRCC’s chairman. “With record fundraising totals for two straight months, there is simply no denying that Republican momentum is building for 2018.”

Although Trump has played little direct role in congressional fundraising, it is unified GOP control in Washington — and the legislative possibilities it presents — that probably has made the party’s big donors more willing than ever to open up their wallets and purses to elect House Republicans.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) played a big role in beefing up the NRCC’s numbers, transferring $4.4 million from his joint fundraising committee last month.

“House Republicans ran on a very specific plan to get our country back on track, and now with a unified Republican government we have an opportunity to deliver on those big promises,” said Kevin Seifert, Ryan’s chief political adviser. “This is an exciting time, and the level of support for the Republican agenda has been simply staggering.”

The House fundraising numbers are especially crucial, considering that Democrats see the House — not the Senate — as their best opportunity to retake power in Washington in 2018. The DCCC has yet to announce its February fundraising numbers, but it did tout a record month for grass-roots fundraising on Tuesday, including $4.7 million in online donations and $1.8 million through direct mail and phone calls.

Democrats point to the unprecedented number of small donors as proof of increased Democratic political engagement driven by Trump’s victory — engagement they are hoping to harness to help unseat Republicans next year. The NRCC does not typically separately report its digital fundraising numbers, and the February numbers released Wednesday do not break out small donors.
