While Senate Democrats were meeting over lunch to decide whether or not they want to stick with President Joe Biden as their nominee, Senate Republicans were having their own lunch and taking a victory lap.
With the balance of the Senate up for grabs and Republicans in a prime position to regain control, the National Republican Senatorial Committee announced at the Senate Republican Conference lunch on Tuesday that they had raised $18.5 million in June — their best month of June ever, according to a source who attended the meeting. (Their next highest June was in 2020, when they raised $14 million.)
Their big month leaves the Republican Senate campaign arm with $48.3 million cash on hand, also the most money the committee has ever had on hand at this point in a cycle. The committee also announced it had netted over $22 million through digital fundraising this cycle as well, the source said. To date, the NRSC has raised $164.3 million.
