The report, which was due to be released on Saturday, adds another layer of intrigue to perhaps the most complicated Senate debate of the season. Senate Democrats are not only watching how Cinema and Gallego’s campaign unfold, but are also seeking insight into whether she would choose to run again in the first place.
Cinema remains silent about its intentions. Her candidacy would divide the field into an unpredictable three-way race. If she siphons too many voters from the Democratic nominee, it could increase the chances of a Republican overturning the seat.
Total cinema fundraising was down slightly from $2.1 million in the first quarter. Her less than $9,000 of her Q2 numbers came from contributors who donated less than $200, a sign that grassroots enthusiasm continues to be lacking.In comparison, Gallego was introduced $1.7 million from a small donation last quarter.
Cinema still relies on corporate PACs to fill its coffers, and notably has not received any donations from fellow senator campaign accounts. She won her one donation from FOX Corporation PAC.
Gallego, meanwhile, had not raised any funding from PAC in the past three months, according to his report.
Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb is the only leading Republican congressman in Arizona. He reported raising $608,000 last quarter. But Republicans are watching closely whether Kari Lake, who lost last year’s controversial gubernatorial race, will announce her candidacy.
Arizona isn’t the only Senate election on which Democrats nationwide are eyeing. They are also waiting to see if Sen will. Joe Manchin (Virginia) has decided to seek re-election in the state where former President Donald Trump won by 39 points.
Manchin reported raising nearly $1.3 million in the second quarter, nearly triple what he raised in the first three months of the year, leaving him options for his next goal. It is shown that. He said a final decision would not be made before the end of the year.
Without Manchin, Senate Democrats have virtually no chance of retaining Mr Manchin’s seat and are encouraging him to run for re-election. Manchin has won more votes than two Republicans, Gov. Jim Justice and a member of the House of Representatives, who have launched a campaign for his seat. Alex Mooney (RW. Virginia) — And according to totals originally shared with POLITICO, the troubled incumbent has a whopping $10.7 million in cash on hand.
On the map, Senate Democrats could have a lot to celebrate in a candidate’s campaign finance report.
The six most at-risk Democratic incumbents collectively raised $21.4 million, according to Politico’s analysis of campaign-finance data. Two of the most vulnerable people outside of Manchin, Sense. John Tester Montana and sherrod brown The Ohio trio each brought in more than $5 million and had $10.5 million and $8.7 million in the bank, respectively.
All of the incumbents, including Manchin, Tester, Brown and Sens. Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin), Bob Casey (Pennsylvania) and Jackie Rosen (D-Nevada) — Over $5.5 million in cash on hand as of the end of June. In total, he already has nearly $50 million in the bank.
“Like last cycle, incumbents sided with the Republican Party and had strong grassroots support in each state, and the same is happening this cycle,” the senators said. Gary Peters (Democrat of Michigan), Chairman of the Senate Democratic Campaign Division.
He also said he still hopes Manchin will run for re-election, saying, “I talk to Manchin regularly. He’s still figuring out what he wants to do. I encourage him to run for the Senate.”
Of the six core Democratic incumbents, Manchin has the most money in his bank account, with $10.7 million in campaign funds and $2.2 million in the leadership PAC. The money would go a long way to West Virginia if he chooses to run.
Most Republican Senate front-runners didn’t have to file fundraising reports because they started campaigning after the second-quarter deadline. Among them are Nevada veteran Sam Browne and Montana businessman Tim Sheehy.
The report also provided other hints about the intentions of the undeclared prospective candidate. Republican Senator in Montana. Matt RosendaleHe raised $442,000 after telling congressional colleagues he planned to take on Tester. That sum is paltry compared to other Senate candidates, but more than triple what he has raised in the first three months of this year.
