DemocraticSen Raphael Warnock’s project has nearly 3 times more money on hand than Republican prospect Herschel Walker’s heading into the last stretch of Georgia’s overflow Senate election, according to brand-new Federal Election Commission filings.
Warnock, who is attempting to protect his seat in a tight race, had simply over $29 million on hand sinceNov 16. Walker, a previous NFL gamer and favorite of ex-President Donald Trump, had more than $9.8 million on hand heading into the last weeks of the election.
The filings reveal fundraising information for each prospect fromOct 20– days prior to the midterm elections– throughNov 16. Warnock’s project raised $52 million throughout that time duration, compared to Walker’s almost $21 million, records reveal.
The overflow election is set up forDec 6. The fight in between Warnock and Walker went to another round after neither competitor amassed the 50% of the vote required to clinch the seat outright under state guidelines in theNov 8 midterms.
Warnock is leading Walker by 4 portion points, according to an AARP survey.
Democrats will hold Senate control in the next Congress with a minimum of 50 seats. The Georgia race will figure out whether they can acquire a straight-out bulk– and most likely rely less frequently on Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote.
