South Carolina Democrat Jaime Harrison has shattered congressional fundraising records, bringing in $57 million in the final quarter for his U.S. Senate campaign against Republican incumbent Lindsey Graham as the GOP tries to retain control of the chamber in the Nov. 3 election.

Harrison’s campaign said Sunday that the total was the largest-ever during a single three-month period by any Senate candidate. That tops the $38 million raised by Democrat Beto O’Rourke in 2018 in the final fundraising period of his challenge to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who won the race.

Graham hasn’t released fundraising totals for the previous quarter, although it’s likely he’s been eclipsed by Harrison. Last month, Graham made a public plea for fundraising to help him keep up with Harrison, saying on Fox News that he was “getting killed financially” by Harrison, who he predicted would “raise $100 million in the state of South Carolina.”

  1. It’s hard to compete against Soros and his ilk’s money.But what counts is votes.Hopefully, SC voters don’t want socialism ,high taxes and crazy cancel /intersectionality culture.

  2. Citizens United opened the door. Unlimited amount of money can go into campaigns. The RepublicNs have been doing it for years. Jamie Harrison’s donations are a bunch of small donors across America that have had enough of the corrupt Trump administration and his Senate enablers.
