Perdue, Loeffler Outraised by Ossoff, Warnock in Georgia Runoffs

In Georgia's Senate runoff race, both Republican incumbents, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler have been outraised by their Democratic challengers, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, according to reports.

In one of the state's runoff elections, Ossoff raised $106.8 million, according to Bloomberg, which cited his campaign's latest filing with the Federal Elections Commission, during the period from October 15 to December 16. According to multiple reports, Ossoff ended the period with 17.5 million in the bank and spent $93.5 million.

In comparison, Ossoff's opponent, Perdue, raised $68.1 million and ended the filing period with $16 million cash on hand, according to Bloomberg.

However, the article itself confirms that the Democratic candidates outraised the Republican candidates.

significantly. It has worried me, even tho I know that money doesn't always buy victory. I've donated all I can to both Ossoff and Warnock--all I can do now is cross my fingers and hope for a good outcome Jan. 5th.
