Dem challenger in SC Senate race raises record $57 million

Source: AP

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Democrat Jaime Harrison has shattered congressional fundraising records, bringing in $57 million in the final quarter for his U.S. Senate campaign against Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham as the GOP tries to retain control of the chamber in the Nov. 3 election.

Harrison’s campaign said Sunday that the total was the largest-ever during a single three-month period by any Senate candidate. That tops the $38 million raised by Democrat Beto O’Rourke in 2018 in the final fundraising period of his challenge to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who won the race.

Graham hasn’t released fundraising totals for the previous quarter, although it’s likely he’s been eclipsed by Harrison. Last month, Graham made a public plea for fundraising to help him keep up with Harrison, saying on Fox News that he was “getting killed financially” by Harrison, who he predicted would “raise $100 million in the state of South Carolina.”

“The money is because they hate my guts,” Graham added.

WE HATE THE REST OF YOU, TOO, MISS LINDSEY!!

We hope you will proceed to self-fornicate with a pitchfork, Lindsey. An old, rusty, manure-encrusted, virus- and tetanus-infected pitchfork. Sideways. Twice.
