Money woes continue for congressional Republicans


This should give you a smile for the afternoon.

The Democrats’ congressional campaign committees maintained a strong fundraising lead over their Republican counterparts in the second quarter, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings showed Monday.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) holds a nearly 2-to-1 edge in cash on hand over the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), according to the FEC filings.

The DSCC raised $20.9 million during the second quarter, and has $46.2 million in cash on hand. The NRSC has $24.6 million in the bank after raising $15.3 million during the quarter.

Senate Democrats have now outraised the NRSC by a total of $93.3 million to $58.8 million this election cycle.

House Democrats, meanwhile, hold a nearly 6-to-1 cash on hand advantage over the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee.
