The DSCC raised $8.5 million in August, the best August in committee history, outraising the NRSC by $2.1M million despite being in the minority. The DSCC has outraised the NRSC 18 of the last 20 months this cycle. On the cycle, the DSCC has raised $27.6 million more than the NRSC. The DSCC increased its cash on hand to $34 million, has no operational debt and has $22.2 million more cash on hand than the NRSC.
Statement from Executive Director Tom Lopach: “The DSCC is incredibly grateful to our supporters across the country who helped make this month the best August in committee history. These resources allow us to fight back against the unprecedented outside spending by Republicans and their special interests allies as they desperately try to prop up vulnerable incumbents and their reckless and out-of-touch records. Less than two months until Election Day, Democrats have the momentum and we are extremely thankful to our supporters for giving us the resources necessary to help our outstanding candidates across the country. We look forward to taking back the majority in November and getting the Senate back to working for middle class families.”
