Warmed races in the US Congress UU On the way to breaking records of fundraising







NEW YORK / WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The campaign season of the US Congress. UU He is on track to break fund-raising records this year, driven in part by unprecedented rises in at least five candidates from both major parties, according to a Reuters analysis of campaign financing disclosures.

Candidates for the House of Representatives have collectively raised $ 1.2 billion from January 2017 until the end of September, more than the record $ 1 billion adjusted for the inflation set at this time in the 2010 election cycle, according to Commission data Federal Elections. 

Senate candidates, who have six years to raise funds due to their longer deadlines, have raised more than $ 950 million, exceeding the $ 844 million raised during the same period before the 2010 elections. 

The records are a sign of the intense struggle of the Democratic and Republican parties before the November 6 elections. The Democrats intend to get 23 seats in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate in an effort to take control of Congress and block the agenda of Republican President Donald Trump. 

Republicans are eager to maintain control of both houses, which has allowed them to pass an extensive package of tax cuts and confirm two conservatives before the Supreme Court. 

The Democrats collectively outdid the Republicans. Senate Democrats raised at least $ 551 million, while Republicans raised at least $ 368 million. Democratic House candidates raised at least $ 680 million, while Republicans raised at least $ 540 million.  

The apparent Democratic advantage may have been exaggerated by a large number of candidates contesting the primaries, said Michael Malbin, director of the non-partisan Campaign Finance Institute. 

"I do not see an overwhelming advantage for the Democrats," Malbin said. 

A handful of candidates broke individual records. 

The Democratic representative of the United States, Beto O'Rourke, of Texas, who faces the Republican senator Ted Cruz, was the only Senate candidate who broke an individual fundraising record. He raised almost $ 63 million, surpassing the record of former Senator Hillary Clinton in 2006, of almost $ 61 million. 

O'Rourke's total included a record $ 38 million in the third quarter. 

Four candidates from the House of Representatives broke the previous record of that chamber, which was established in 2008 when Colorado Republican Jared Polis raised about $ 8 million. Republicans Devin Nunes of California, Greg Gianforte of Montana, Karen Handel of Georgia and Pennsylvania Democrat Conor Lamb surpassed that mark.  

Nunes raised $ 10.6 million, the highest total for a Republican from the House of Representatives who ran for re-election and who did not contribute personal wealth to his campaign.  

Taking into account the people who financed their own careers, Democrat and alcoholic beverage entrepreneur David Trone of Maryland raised as much as possible of any candidate from the House, with his campaign raising $ 16.5 million.
