WASHINGTON (AP) — In a show of support for keeping a Democratic Senate, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is transferring $15 million from his campaign account to his party’s candidates, incumbents and political committee for the fall election.
That’s according to a Democrat familiar with the situation who insisted on anonymity to discuss it.
Schumer is sending $1 million each to nine candidates — four incumbent Democratic senators and five Democratic challengers in battleground states.
That includes $1 million to the most contested senators — Raphael Warnock in Georgia, Mark Kelly in Arizona, Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada and Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire.
