If you’ve been paying close attention to the numbers we’ve been sending out since the beginning of the Georgia runoff, you will notice that the totals are much higher than what we’ve been reporting. Over the last week we noticed there were major errors in how the committees were labeling their spend, so we re-ran our calculations to scrub out the errors. So for the significantly higher real numbers, we will start with a quick look back at the whole GA Senate runoff election.
In Total for the Runoff
$78,989,978.74 – Total amount spent in IE on the Georgia Senate Runoff
$50,542,110.99 – Dem Support + GOP Oppose
$28,747,867.45 – GOP Support + Dem Oppose
$21, 794243.54 – Amount Dems are outspending the GOP in the GA Senate Runoff, or 43%
- American Bridge PAC which played huge in 2020, didn’t spend a penny this cycle until the last days of the general where they came in small for Sen. Warnock. They have now spent $4.2M in the runoff.
- Georgia Honor, the Warnock aligned Super PAC has spent more than the two biggest Republican spenders combined.
