The House Democratic campaign arm now has more money in the bank for the 2018 midterm elections than its GOP rival.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) reported $61.8 million in the bank at the end of April, compared with $59.6 million for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

The NRCC had been in the lead until now, but the DCCC pulled ahead in the most recent reports, which cover fundraising through April. 

Democrats enjoyed a big April, raising $11.2 million that month and spending about $5.4 million. Over that same month, the NRCC raised $5.4 million and spent $4.6 million.

Both sides will have tons of cash for the midterms.
 
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has far outpaced the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in fundraising this cycle. The RNC reported $43.8 million on hand through April, while the DNC said it had $8.7 million in the bank but is also carrying more than $5 million in debt. 
 
Allied super PACs are raking in cash, too. Reports surfaced last week that casino mogul Sheldon Adelson cut a $30 million check to the Congressional Leadership Fund, a group allied with Republican House leadership.
