Cash is pouring in to Pennsylvania's hotly contested race for U.S. Senate, as wealthy and well-connected candidates moved in from out of state, followed by millions of dollars going into TV ads and super PACs.
Filings posted online by the Federal Election Commission before Monday night's deadline showed Mehmet Oz — best-known as daytime TV's host of "the Dr. Oz Show" — loaned himself $5.2 million. He spent nearly all of it in his quest for the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, a super PAC supporting a Republican rival of Oz's, former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, is tapping into the world of finance for cash. That included $5 million from conservative billionaire donor Ken Griffin of Chicago-based Citadel LLC, a multinational hedge fund and financial services company that handles an estimated 25% of all U.S. stock trading., Lt. Gov. John Fetterman kept a strong cash advantage — $5.
Fetterman raised $2.7 million in the last three months of 2021, but spent more than half of it, while Lamb raised $1.3 million and spent a little less than half, according to the filings. Three other rivals in each party's primary each raised in the six-figures in the last quarter of 2021. The primary election is May 17.

Sen. Murphy: Senate considering Russia sanctions ‘that might take effect immediately’Foreign Relations Committee Member Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the narrowing possibility of resolving tension on the Ukrainian border through diplomacy and the effort to pass a Russia sanctions bill in the Senate. “I think it is much more likely that Putin comes to the conclusion that the cost of this invasion will be much greater than the benefits, that the blow to his economy will be significant,” says Murphy. “We are considering some sanctions that might take effect immediately.”
