Democratic Senate candidates are posting “blockbuster fundraising numbers” in the second-quarter, which they see as a sign of momentum after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade. Raphael Warnock: $17.2M Mark Kelly: $13.6M Catherine Cortez Masto: $7.5M
Michael Bennet is sitting on nearly 10 times the cash of his GOP challenger, the latest example of Democrats’ widening financial advantage as they vie to keep Senate control.
Candidates are posting “blockbuster fundraising numbers,” as Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson David Bergstein put it — though, in some cases, they are spending cash just as fast as they take it in. Nonetheless, Democrats see it as a sign of momentum after the Supreme Court struck down“It says enthusiasm, I think it says that people understand it’s the United States Senate that confirms judges, particularly in light of what’s happened,” said Sen. Debbie Stabenow , the No.
Outside Republican groups, particularly Senate Leadership Fund and allied group One Nation, are trying to close the gap by deluging deep-pocketed senators like Warnock with attack ads. Senate Leadership Fund spokesperson Jack Pandol said Democrats should spend their money to “invent a time machine and change their votes for reckless inflationary spending. Pending that, groups like ours will be there to relentlessly litigate Democrats destroying their constituents’ quality of life.
O’Dea countered that, given fast-rising inflation and the amount left-wing groups spent to try to bolster his far-right primary opponent, Bennet will need all the money he can get. In other places like Georgia and Pennsylvania, Republicans say Warnock and Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman are burning their cash at high rates regardless of their big fundraising numbers. Fetterman raised $11 million last quarter and has $5.5 million on hand.
