Republican Candidates Are Hurting for Cash, but Help May Be on the Way
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Democratic candidates, particularly for the Senate, are raising more money from small-dollar donors than their Republican counterparts, according to recent Federal Election Commission filings.
- Despite this, Republicans remain competitive due to significant financial support from super PACs funded by ultrawealthy individuals and corporations.
- There appears to be a larger number of Republican megadonors compared to Democratic ones, bolstering GOP fundraising efforts.
- A recent Supreme Court decision is expected to make it easier for Republican Party committees, which have substantial cash reserves, to support their candidates more directly.
