Democrat Jaime Harrison raised a record-breaking $57 million in the past three months in his bid to unseat Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), shattering the mark for a Senate candidate.
The single-quarter haul Harrison raised from July through September smashes the $38.1 million then-Rep. Beto O’Rourke raised in the third quarter of 2018 in his unsuccessful bid to oust Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.). At the time, O’Rourke broke the record for the largest-ever quarterly fundraising haul in a Senate race, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
