The Democrats’ Senate campaign arm raised more money in October than during the same month in any previous off-year election, boosted by the public anger over a government shutdown and buoyed by President Obama’s seemingly undiminished fundraising prowess.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will announce Monday that it brought in $4.8 million in October, besting the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s $3.8 million.
