The DSCC raised more than the NRSC both in September and for the entire third-quarter.
The Senate Democratic campaign arm raised $9 million in September, versus Republicans’ $7.1 million last month. The DSCC raised $19.9 million in all of Q3. The NRSC raised $18 million.
The DSCC also ended with more cash-on-hand with $16.3 million to the NRSC’s $12 million.
As we reported in Monday’s Midday edition, the DCCC outraised the NRCC in Q3 ($26.2 million to $24 million) but not in September, where the GOP raised $14 million to Democrats’ $11.5 million.
We now have cash-on-hand totals too. The DCCC ended with slightly more on hand, $46.6 million to the NRCC’s $45.8 million.
Nationally, the RNC continues to just decimate the DNC. The RNC has raised about one-third more for the year. More importantly, the RNC has $86 million in the bank compared to $12 million for the DNC, a staggering gulf.
