Democratic Senate campaign arm outraises GOP by $8M in August
The Democratic Senate campaign arm outraised its Republican counterpart by about $8 million in August, as Democrats seek to win control of the upper chamber in Novembers elections, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) raised about $19 million in August, according to an FEC report filed Sunday.
The GOPs August haul is the largest month total in NRSC history, according to the group. But it's still $8 million less than the record-breaking nearly $27 million the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) raised in the same month. The DSCC announced its $26.9 million haul in a press release on Friday.
The NRSC has more than $13.5 million cash on hand at the end of August, according to its filing. The NRSC said its cash on hand is larger than the group had on hand in 2016 and 2018 at the same time period.
