Outside GOP Groups Raise Big Money for Senate

“Two top outside groups designed to support Senate Republicans raised $42 million in August, a massive haul that shows the fervor with which GOP donors are training their focus – and dollars – on maintaining control of the upper chamber,” Politico reports.

Playbook: “We’ve all settled on the thought that Republicans will lose the Senate majority. But if outside groups keep pulling in tens of millions of dollars a month, the GOP can make a real play to stem the damage, or perhaps even keep the majority.”
