DSCC Outraises NRSC In November
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee continues to hold a strong cash advantage over their Republican counterparts, Roll Call reports, and it's only getting bigger.
The DSCC raised $4.1 million and spent $2.1 million for the month of November, and has $25.5 million cash on hand. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, on the other hand, only brought in $2.3 million and spent $1.4 million, and has $10.4 million on hand.

Now if it can be spent on better Dems instead of protecting incumbency of worthless ones.

So, the DSCC spent over $2 million. But I have yet to see any TV spots that educate the American public on why the Senate Dems have been so unable to pass legislation. Or are they waiting to do the finger-pointing later on? Hopefully that's the case.

Don,unless you live in a state with two Democratic senators, the finger points at you and the other Dems in your state. Until there are enough Dems in the Senate to stop a filibuster, legislation opposed by the White House will not pass. A simple majority works in the House, but not under Senate rules.

"Until there are enough Dems in the Senate to stop a filibuster"
Please explain to me how the Repubs managed so well then without a filibuster-proof majority. Thank you.

Does DiFi count as a Democratic Senator?

This comapring of finances is a distraction. Wasn't there a far greater gap a year ago? It's irrelevant. There's always a lot of money for fascists. It's nice that the Dems have alittle cash, but the Republicans will have all the money they need, and then some.
