Senate Majority PAC Raises Record $151 Million in Q3 as GOP Outspends Democrats by $400 Million

Summary
$151 million flowed into the Senate Majority PAC in the third quarter, a record that left the top Democratic Senate super PAC with nearly $112 million cash entering October.
The group and its affiliated nonprofit raised $202 million combined, bolstering Democrats even as outside Republican groups have spent more than $400 million more in Senate races.
Texas accounts for much of that gap, where national Republicans have poured nearly $200 million into protecting Ken Paxton against Democrat James Talarico, who had outraised Paxton by $50 million through the second quarter.
Democrats still point to favorable terrain: top candidates have generally outraised Republican rivals, a New York Times/Siena poll showed them tied or ahead in five reliably Republican states, and the leading GOP Senate super PAC pulled ads from North Carolina while shifting money to Kansas.
