"SNIP.....
A new Quinnipiac poll in Texas finds Gov. Greg Abbott (R) leading challenger Beto ORourke (D) by just five points, 48% to 43%.

(16,786 posts)May not seem like much, but millions pitching in $5 to $10 bucks adds up in a hurry.
Did the same for Raphael Warnock, John Fetterman, Josh Shapiro, and Tim Ryan.
