Senate Leadership Fund, the Mitch McConnell aligned super PAC backing Senate Republicans, is spending an initial $141 million to run ads in the midterm elections
A super PAC aligned with, R-Ky., is making a $141 million bet that the Republicans can win back the chamber’s majority in November’s midterm elections.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell walks to the Senate Chamber for a vote at the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 6, 2021. The political action committee is dishing out $27.6 million to run ads in North Carolina, to hold the seat currently held by retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr, $24.6 million in Pennsylvania, where Republican Sen. Pat Toomey is retiring, and $15.2 million in Wisconsin, where GOP Sen. Ron Johnson is being heavily targeted by Democrats as he seeks a third term in the Senate.
That means the GOP needs a net gain of just one seat in the midterms to regain the majority they lost when they were swept in Georgia’s twin Senate runoffs on Jan. 5, 2021. And Democrats are facing historic headwinds – the party that wins the White House traditionally sufferers congressional loses in the ensuing midterms – and a difficult political climate that’s partially fueled by President Biden’s underwater approval ratings.
