A spokesperson for the third candidate, Sen. John Cornyn , has not disclosed whether he made a transfer, but Cornyn has for years been one of the most prolific fundraisers among Senate Republicans. Fundraising is foundational to the job of GOP leader, with Thune and Cornyn in particular attempting to demonstrate they can fill the shoes of McConnell, who will step down from leadership at the end of the year. Thune has raised $26 million this cycle, according to a source familiar with his fundraising.
Still, Cornyn and Thune have tried to outdo each other on the fundraising front. Each spent the August recess attending events for the Republicans running in battleground Senate races as special guests. The fundraising is meant to build rapport with the Republicans who could join them in the Senate next year, each of whom will get a vote on the next leader. Trump is also expected to weigh in on the race.
