Paul Ryan-backed PAC posts $51M haul as November elections approach

A top super PAC backed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., raised $51 million during the second fundraising quarter as Republicans look to keep their House majority in November.

The Congressional Leadership Fund, an outside group dedicated to keeping the House in Republican control, announced that they have raised $93 million during the entire 2018 cycle and have $71 million in cash on hand less than four months until Election Day. Additionally, their second quarter total is more than the group raised during the entire 2016 cycle.
