The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) announced on Friday that it had raised $173.4 million to support Republican candidates in the 2022 elections, a higher sum than it has ever raised before at this stage in a midterm cycle.
The GOP Senate campaign arm's announcement comes after it raked in $25.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, according to The Hill. NRSC Chairman Sen. Rick Scott of Florida also announced that the group was purchasing ads in both English and Spanish and had begun running campaign messages earlier than in previous years.Fundraising has certainly changed in recent years. You now have individual fundraising totals, Senate and Congressional Committee fundraising totals, National Party fundraising, and then your outside political group fundraising. It seems that each side relies on a little bit different make up of these areas. What this does is leave open the ability of certain people to cherry pick from one area to make it appear that one side is out raising the other side, sometimes wildly so. You can easily cherry pick a handful of individual candidates or suggest that one PAC is not raising what it is expecting. At the end of the day you have to add it all together to get to what will eventually be made available.
There has been some buzz that certain "individual" Senate Candidates have been lagging in fundraising totals, but that will be offset if that money is otherwise going to the Senate committee (that can decide who needs what and where the money goes). That is a more difficult task if the money is sent to an individual candidate (rather than the committee or Party).
I would offer that it is almost certain that both sides have raised a lot of money for this election campaign season. But at the end of the day, none of that will matter as much as the state of the economy, the approval of the President and the Democrats running things. Ultimately this election will come down to whether or not the general public will choose to continue under current leadership (garnering the same results) or whether they are ready for something new.

Some of the big dollar contributions are not going to Trump or his allies.
The former president’s PAC raised about $36 million in the first half of the year, down 29% from the prior six months.
Roger...
Trump is not running for anything. The fact that he raised $36 million as a non-candidate is more than just fairly impressive. Right now he has a bigger fundraising bank than anyone on the planet. Again, as a non-Candidate.
That being said...
What does Trump have to do with any of this?
5 years Roger?
The reason why we don't have legislation on climate change is Joe Manchin.
In the previous five years it was Trump's fault."
You are blaming Trump while not in office for Joe's Shitshow?
The children on the emotional left need to be told by Politicians on how to burn less fuels.
The children on the emotional left need politicians to make "other people" do what they want them to do.
