Senate Democratic PACs Raise Record $147 Million in Q2 as Midterm Money Race Intensifies

Summary
$147 million flowed to Senate Majority PAC and its affiliated nonprofit from April through June, marking Democrats' biggest-ever second-quarter haul as they try to retake the Senate.
Senate Majority PAC alone raised $58 million and started July with $126 million on hand, giving the Schumer-aligned group its strongest cash position at this stage of a cycle.
That surge may not erase Republicans' edge: through March, the GOP's Senate Leadership Fund held more than twice as much cash, leading by $92 million, and its second-quarter figures are due by July 15.
Democrats need at least four seats to regain control, targeting expensive battlegrounds such as Georgia, North Carolina and Ohio while also scrambling in Maine after nominee Graham Platner suspended his campaign.
