McConnell super PAC raises nearly $50M in first two weeks of October

The super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell raised $49.6 million during the first 14 days of October, as wealthy Republican donors invested heavily down the stretch to save the GOP’s three-seat majority.

The Senate Leadership Fund told the Washington Examiner Thursday that its pre-general election filing with the Federal Election Commission would show cash on hand of $69.2 million. The group entered October with $113.8 million in the bank and spent $94.2 million to defend more than one dozen Republican-held seats that Democrats are threatening.
