Senate Dems brace for a red wave -- of cash

Senate Democrats are coming off a summertime high, clinching legislation on everything from climate to gun safety as their candidates outpolled and outraised Republicans in key battlegrounds. Now comes the post-Labor Day GOP surge.

The Senate Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC aligned with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is set to narrow the financial disparities currently holding his party back in its bid to retake the Senate. The super PAC has more than $160 million in advertising on the books for the post-Labor Day crunch, according to AdImpact — just the beginning of a cash blitz that’s poised to blunt the financial edge that Democratic candidates have enjoyed for 18 months.

It’s a repeat in the making of 2020, when the GOP PAC notched blockbuster fundraising down the stretch and rained down ads on Senate Democratic candidates that helped avert a complete Republican collapse, though the chamber still narrowly flipped. And Democrats expect this year’s polls to tighten enough to make every race a nail-biter.

“These are all going to be dogfights for the final couple months,” said former Democratic Senate Campaign Committee adviser Justin Barasky. “Republican money is coming. We always knew it was going to, because it always does. Doesn’t mean it’s easy to deal with, but it’s not unexpected.”

1. You mean Rick Scott hasn't squandered it all yet?

2. Rick Scott is the biggest piece of shit Florida has given the country.

Although he has a lot of competition, he narrowly wins. Biggest thief, most untruthful, slimiest and by far the ugliest bottom feeder the repubs have produced.

4. Donate to your Dem Senate candidates or DSCC or both. Dem House (DCCC) too and DNC. n/t

5. I keep hearing its inevitable that Dems are going to lose the House

I HATE that! Even worse, I hate hearing it from Dems!


Dems are on a roll. But the big shocker, for some, is going to be the women voter turnout on abortion rights.



Money isn't everything, and I'm glad of it.

6. Inevitable? No. Still likely? Yes.

Don't tell yourself that a Blue Wave will sweep every Democrat into office. Non Statewide races present a big challenge, regardless of Dobbs.

9. Democratic Senate campaign fundraising outpaces GOP for fourth straight month

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.

10. "We've contacted you 10 times and you've never responded! Do you have a personal problem with us!?"

I'm making my little donations all across the board, but maybe it's time I started responding to those loathsome messages I keep getting on my phone.
