Top Senate Democratic PAC Stockpiles Record Sum, as Money Chase Heats Up
The leading Senate Democratic super PAC and an affiliated nonprofit raised $147 million from April through June, the groups said, notching its best-ever second quarter haul as the party seeks to win back control of the upper chamber in this fall’s midterm elections.
Senate Majority PAC, the super PAC that is aligned with Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, brought in $58 million and entered July with $126 million in its account, more cash to spend than it has had at this point in previous election cycles. Along with Majority Forward, its associated nonprofit, Senate Majority PAC is expected to spend big in this year’s marquee Senate races.
But heading into the second quarter, Democrats were by some measures playing catch-up against their Republican counterparts, and it was not immediately clear whether they had made up ground. Through the end of March, the Senate Leadership Fund super PAC, a leading G.O.P. group, had more than twice as much cash on hand as the Senate Democratic group, with an advantage of $92 million. The Republican organization has not yet announced its haul for the second quarter; the latest quarterly reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by July 15.
Democrats need to gain at least four seats to win back the Senate, an uphill climb, but one that has looked more realistic than it did at the start of the cycle. President Trump’s unpopularity and concerns about the economy have opened the door for the party out of power.
