He’ll every cent he can get since it looks like he’ll be running against Trump endorsed Herschel Walker…..
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock raised more than $9.5 million during the latest fundraising quarter, an enormous sum that highlights the extensive fundraising infrastructure the Democrat has built for a re-election bid that will help decide control of the Senate.
Warnock ended the quarter with more than $17.2 million in cash on hand, more than any Georgia U.S. Senate campaign has reported at this stage in the election cycle. He collected contributions from more than 145,000 donors during the reporting period, which spans from July to September, said campaign manager Quentin Fulks.
Warnock, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, has expanded the sprawling donor list he amassed during last year’s campaign to fill the remaining two years of retired Republican Johnny Isakson’s term. He’s emerged as a fundraising juggernaut who can attract small-dollar donors – his average contribution was $37 – along with checks from the deep-pocketed elite….
…
His fundraising ability will continue to be put to the test as Warnock, who ousted incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler in a special election, seeks a full six-year term in November 2022.
Warnock’s cash haul puts him far ahead of his nearest Republican rival. Former football standout Herschel Walker raised $3.7 million in the five weeks since launching his campaign, thanks in part to his high name recognition and the blessing of former President Donald Trump that drew many GOP donors off the sidelines.
