Very close race and she can use the money. Polls have been all over the place (anything from Greenfield down by 4 to up by 5) so I think it will be a coinflip.

Honorable mentions:
Bollier
Gross
Peters
Ossoff
Bullock

[link:https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/523737-top-senate-gop-super-pac-makes-final-46-million-investment-in-michigan|

A top super PAC supporting Senate Republicans is making a seven-figure investment in the Michigan Senate race in the final weekend before Election Day, an indication the GOP feels confident in its chances to unseat Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.).

The Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), which is aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), is dropping $4.6 million in the race, SLF President Steven Law told reporters Friday.

Republicans are high on their chances in the Great Lake State’s Senate race, throwing their support behind Army veteran and businessman John James. James lost his 2018 bid to unseat Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) by a narrower than expected margin and has proven his fundraising strength by outraising Peters in several quarters this cycle.


The investment in the Michigan race also comes as Republicans fight tooth and nail to protect their Senate majority. Democrats are challenging vulnerable GOP incumbents in Arizona, Colorado, Maine, North Carolina, Iowa, Georgia, Montana, South Carolina and elsewhere. Republicans, meanwhile, are confident in knocking off Alabama Sen. Doug Jones (D) but find scant few offensive opportunities beyond the Yellowhammer State besides Michigan.

Seriously. your dollars will not affect any last-minute campaign strategies. At this point wait to see which candidates will need to fund legal challenges.

I didn't know if any candidate was going on a last-minute spending frenzy.

I did make a seven-way split two weeks ago.

Thanks again.

The other main option at this point is 2022 challenger funds. I am attracted to Florida Rubio needs to start worrying now.
