Democrats are outraising their GOP counterparts in key races for control of the evenly divided Senate, a rare silver lining heading into the midterm elections as the underdogs.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraising apparatus eclipsed its GOP counterpart during the second quarter, finishing June with nearly $25 million more cash in its war chest than the National Republican Senatorial Committee, ABC reported.
"The NRSC has broken fundraising records and are spending money early to define the Democrats. Meanwhile, Democrats are blowing money defending weak incumbents in states that Joe Biden won by double digits. No amount of money can save Democrats from themselves," an NRSC spokesperson said, per the outlet.
But GOP prospects for winning back the upper chamber are far more tenuous than the House. Primaries in competitive states, such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Georgia, have produced candidates who prompted concerns from some GOP insiders. Additionally, the party is defending a tough seat in Wisconsin and faces a fraught primary in Arizona, a key seat they hoped to win back.
