The NRSC Raised More Than $180 Million, So Where Did It Go?

The GOP has a real shot at winning the Senate in November

  • The NRSC is practically out of money, which is weird considering they were raking in a record amount of money.
  • Rick Scott's enormous gamble on finding new online donors has been a costly financial flop in 2022, according to a New York Times analysis of federal records and interviews with people briefed on the committee's finances.

The New York Times reported that the NRSC sent out millions of text messages asking people if they would like to donate money to the campaign, and received little response.

  • The money spent trying to entice people to donate was in the tens of millions, and it didn't raise enough to cover the costs of the campaign.

The problem is that it appears the NRSC has been turned into a vehicle for Rick Scott to test drive his own fundraising plans for a presidential run in 2024

  • While McConnell has wanted to keep the midterm focus on Democrats, Scott rolled out a policy agenda that promptly earned harsh blowback from the media and was used by Joe Biden as a means of deflecting criticism of his own policies.
  • Scott also clashed with McConnell after the latter criticized Senate "candidate quality" in 2022.
