Democrats in Colorado, Maine, Montana and the Carolinas helped their party out-raise Senate Republican incumbents by nearly $34 million in 10 competitive races that will determine control of the U.S. Senate, campaign documents showed on Thursday.

While the Nov. 3 election is still 3-1/2 months away, the flood of campaign contributions shows Democrats benefiting from voter discontent over President Donald Trump’s responses to the coronavirus pandemic and race relations, among other issues, analysts say. But the challenges facing Republicans have deepened with Trump’s falling poll numbers to the point where Democrats are outraising stalwarts such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky and Senator Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, putting the party under pressure to defend them.
Democrat Amy McGrath outraised McConnell by bringing in $17.4 million in the second quarter versus his $12.2 million. South Carolina Democrat Jaime Harrison hauled in $14 million, versus Graham’s $8.4 million. Democratic second-quarter fundraising swamped Republicans in each of those states. Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly scored the biggest total: $12.8 million, versus Republican Senator Martha McSally’s $9.3 million.FILE PHOTO: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks to the media after a meeting to wrap up work on coronavirus economic aid legislation in Washington, U.S., March 22, 2020.REUTERS/Mary F.
