Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) privately boasted on Wednesday that the GOP’s Senate Leadership Fund had outraised former President Trump’s super PAC in 2020, The New York Times reported, amid the former president’s targeting of Republican fundraising efforts.
McConnell made the remarks at a weekly party lunch following a presentation by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), three people briefed on the lunch told the Times.
The Kentucky Republican reportedly said the funds raised by the Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC that typically supports incumbent Republican senators, last year had surpassed Trump’s America First PAC.
McConnell cited data that he presented on small cards titled “Super PAC money raised” that said “Total: $612+ million” and “In 3 cycles: nearly $1 billion.” Under that were the words “Trump: $148+ million.”
