Democrats spend $500 billion on Senate races, lose all

The Democratic Party faced significant financial losses after investing approximately $500 billion in five crucial Senate races, all of which resulted in decisive defeats.

Financial records reviewed by The Daily Caller revealed that Democratic campaigns and affiliated groups poured $495 million into Senate contests across Texas, Montana, Ohio, Florida, and Missouri, ultimately losing each race by roughly four percentage points.

The Ohio race commanded the largest investment, with Democrats allocating $194 million to support incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown’s campaign against Trump-endorsed Republican Bernie Moreno. Despite the substantial funding, Brown fell short by approximately four points.

In Montana, Democrats invested heavily to protect Senator Jon Tester’s seat, spending roughly $160 million in his race against Republican Tim Sheehy. The investment proved futile as Tester lost by about eight points.

The Texas Senate race saw Democrats, backed by Liz Cheney’s endorsement, investing $92 million to support Democratic challenger Colin Allred against Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz secured victory with an eight-point margin and approximately one million vote advantage.

Democratic efforts in Florida and Missouri cost around $51 million, supporting Lucas Kunce and former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. Both candidates suffered defeats of about 10 points.

These losses compound the Democratic Party’s challenges following Donald Trump’s decisive presidential victory over Kamala Harris.

While the Senate race expenditures were substantial, they were overshadowed by the Harris campaign’s unprecedented spending. Financial Times analysis indicates the Harris campaign spent nearly $2 billion, marking the most expensive presidential campaign in history, yet concluded with $20 million in debt.

Trump responded to these developments on Truth Social, writing: “I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn’t have lots of $’s left over. Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was ‘Earned Media,’ and that doesn’t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
