The Senate Leadership Fund announced Monday that it had held airtime in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada, three states where incumbent Democrats are fighting for re-election. The PAC will broadcast ads in Alaska and Wisconsin to defend Republican incumbents, and in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, two states where current Republicans are retiring. The biggest investment is in Georgia, where Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) is seeking a full term after winning a special second round of elections last January. The Senate Leadership Fund will drop $ 37.1 million there, most likely to support former NFL candidate Herschel Walker (R), who is still facing Republican primary later this year. The PAC plans to spend $ 14.4 million on Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) And $ 15.1 million on Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.). He has retained $ 27.6 million to defend outgoing Secretary of State Richard Burr (R) in North Carolina and $ 24.6 million to secure outgoing retired Senator Pat Toomey (R)’s position in Pennsylvania. The group has set aside $ 7.4 million for Alaska, where Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) faces a challenge from a candidate backed by former President Trump. This money will come after the by-elections of all parties on August 16. the top four candidates in that qualifier advance to the November general election. Senator Ron Johnson (R) will receive a boost from the $ 15.2 million he plans to spend on the PAC in Wisconsin. Johnson will face the winner of the Democratic qualifiers on August 9. A notable omission of the group is in New Hampshire, where Senator Maggie Hassan (D) is seeking re-election. Several Republicans are vying to run against Hassan in the Sept. 13 general election.

Documents submitted to the Federal Election Commission show that the group has raised nearly $ 75 million this year and closed in April with $ 72 million in the bank. Political groups can commit advertising time even before they have the money to pay for it. they do not need to send money to the TV stations that will broadcast the commercials until shortly before the commercials are aired. The Senate Majority PAC, the Democratic equivalent of the Senate Leadership Fund, had $ 36 million in the bank at the end of February.
