TFG is stealing the Milk Money from the GOP

Trump is sucking up all the campaign donations — leaving vital GOP Senate candidates out to dry: Claire McCaskill

"There's a whole lot of people that became active in my state for the first time around Donald Trump," said McCaskill. "They remain slavishly loyal to him ... one of the reasons the Republicans are struggling in campaign donations, candidate donations, is the grassroots money is all going to Trump. Not to Marco Rubio or Dr. Oz or J.D. Vance. When they are putting $20 million of dark money into help, you know, in Ohio, you know they are very worried."

The Democrats need to thank TFG for sucking up all of the small donors and Rick Scott for being an asshole who cannot run this campaign

The committee tasked with electing more Democrats to the Senate is reporting a $10 million haul in July, outpacing its Republican counterpart for the fourth month in a row, according to numbers first released to NBC News.

With less than three months until the November elections, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee appears to be in a more formidable financial position, with $54.1 million cash on hand, well more than double the $23 million left in the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s account.

The NRSC reported about $8 million in fundraising in July.

The DSCC’s $10 million total last month is down from the $12.5 million it raised in June, when, it said, there was a surge in donations after the Supreme Court struck down constitutional protections for abortion.

The fundraising figures were reported amid increasing questions over whether Republican can wrest control of the 50-50 Senate from Democrats in a midterm year that had been predicted to be favorable to them.
