Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Georgia Democrats have built an enormous fundraising advantage over their Republican rivals in the state’s marquee political races.
In just two months, Democrat Stacey Abrams amassed $9.2 million, outdoing both Gov. Brian Kemp and his Republican rival, former U.S. Sen. David Perdue. She collected nearly $2 million more in that span than Kemp did over a six-month period. Perdue tallied only about $1 million since December.
And Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock raised $9.8 million in the final three months of 2021, making him the nation’s top Senate fundraiser for the second quarter in a row. He easily outdid Herschel Walker, his top Republican rival, whose $5.4 million haul was the most of any GOP Senate challenger in the nation.
Democratic candidates raised more money than their Republican rivals in top races in 2018 and 2020, too. But Democrats are flipping the script by building an early financial edge at a stage in the race when Republicans usually dominate.”
