Republican super PACs bank millions ahead of midterm battles

Republicans are betting that they can defend their slim congressional majorities in next year’s midterm elections, and the party’s biggest donors are putting their chips on the table, too

Republicans are betting that they can defend their slim congressional majorities in next year’s midterm elections, and the party’s biggest donors are putting their chips on the table, too.

New fundraising reports filed Thursday for outside groups show that GOP megadonors are engaged in the fight for Congress, steering $59.2 million to the main two super PACs involved in House and Senate races aligned with GOP leadership, Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund, throughout the first six months of the year.

The two major super PACs aligned with Democratic congressional leadership, Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC, raised $38.6 million combined.

The GOP groups had $62 million left in their accounts as of June 30, while the Democratic groups had $35.8 million. And neither those figures nor the totals raised include all of the groups’ nonprofit arms, which can also raise unlimited funds but do not have to disclose their donors.

While Republicans may have an early advantage in the super PAC money chase, that doesn’t necessarily mean they will be able to swamp the airwaves. Democratic candidates have typically raised more money directly for their campaigns than the average Republican candidate has in recent years, riding a wave of small-donor enthusiasm unleashed in response to President Donald Trump's first election in 2016.
