At least 15 Democratic senators/candidates raised more than $1.3 million **over the weekend**

The 13 included in Crooked Media's "Get Mitch" list plus McGrath and Kelly. (Could be others but none confirmed)

Democrats *already* had more television dollars reserved from September through Election Day in five of the top Senate battlegrounds seen as likeliest to determine control of the Senate — North Carolina, Iowa, Arizona, Montana and Maine.

How much did Senator Susan Collins's challenger Sara Gideon in Maine raise? The campaign wouldn't say.

But she bought $600,000 in fresh cable today — including some in Boston! nytimes.com/2020/09/21/us/…

Just how much did Jaime Harrison raise vs. Lindsey Graham? Unclear.

But he spent 240k on Facebook ads just on Friday (second to Trump and Biden), a hint of fundraising coming in.

And he had raised $2 million in prior 48 hours after poll showed tie race.

Republicans haven't reported any commensurate surge.

But but but.

They expect that could change once Trump names his nominee later this week.

And recall: Big GOP donors very motivated by courts.
