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.
Harrisons 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 ORourke in 2018 in the final fundraising period of his challenge to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who won the race.
Graham hasnt released fundraising totals for the previous quarter, although its likely hes 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 hope you will proceed to self-fornicate with a pitchfork, Lindsey. An old, rusty, manure-encrusted, virus- and tetanus-infected pitchfork. Sideways. Twice.
