The latest cause for Republicans’ increasing concerns about losing the majority? The “massive fundraising hauls” from Democratic Senate challengers.
A new round of reporting highlights the growing anxiety among Republicans who “fear November’s election could be devastating” as their Democratic challengers are posting record-breaking fundraising numbers. Democrats’ “eye-popping hauls” have “alarmed top Republican lawmakers” who are facing tough reelection fights. The historic fundraising hauls in states like South Carolina and Kansas are proof that Democrats have expanded the map and will be able to compete “aggressively in races that were not expected to be in play this cycle.” One veteran Republican campaign operative put it bluntly: “Republican campaigns should be alarmed.”
This slew of impressive Q2 fundraising hauls — across a Senate map that keeps shifting against Republicans — is just the latest sign that Democratic candidates are running strong campaigns that will have the necessary resources to compete and win in November.
