Graham challenger Harrison raises record-shattering $13.9 million for SC Senate bid
By Max Greenwood - 07/07/20 09:54 AM EDT
Democratic Senate candidate Jaime Harrison's campaign to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) in South Carolina pulled in nearly $14 million in the second quarter of the year, setting a statewide fundraising record in the process.
Harrisons campaign said on Tuesday that it had raised more than $13.9 million in the period covering April through June, nearly doubling its first-quarter fundraising haul of $7.4 million and marking the second consecutive quarter in which Harrison has set a quarterly record in South Carolina.
Our campaign's record-breaking fundraising reflects the grassroots energy behind Jaime's movement, and will allow this campaign to make the investments necessary to send Lindsey home for good, Guy King, a spokesperson for Harrisons campaign, said in a statement.
Graham hasnt yet disclosed his full second-quarter fundraising numbers and isnt required to do so until July 15. But the most recent filings available, which cover the pre-primary period in South Carolina spanning April 1 to May 20, showed Harrison out-raising Graham by about $600,000.
Harrison also raised more than Graham in the first quarter of 2020, bringing in about $7.4 million to Grahams $5.7 million.
