Amy McGrath raised more than Mitch McConnell so far this year but still trails him overall
Democrat Amy McGrath has raised more money than U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell so far this year, but the Senate majority leader — who's been collecting contributions for his reelection campaign since 2015 — still has the edge in terms of overall fundraising.
New data posted by the Federal Election Commission shows McGrath brought in more than $10.7 million since she entered the race in July.
That outstrips the roughly $7.5 million McConnell has received in 2019.
Kentucky's longtime senator is still in the lead in terms of finances, though, with about $13.4 million raised for the 2020 election since Jan. 1, 2015.
