The latest edition of the NBC News Politics team’s newsletter, From the Politics Desk, covers the latest fundraising numbers and analysis from the campaign trail, the White House, and Capitol Hill. Republican donors have poured massive sums into pro-Trump super PACs, while Democrats continue to keep up their torrid fundraising pace for Senate and House races. Additionally, analysis by Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd suggests that there may not be a significant split between the popular vote and the Electoral College results this year.
Major GOP donors include Miriam Adelson, Elon Musk, and others, with pro-Trump super PACs raising over $200 million in the third quarter. Democratic candidates have raised more than twice as much money as Republicans in competitive races, creating concerns among GOP donors.
Chuck Todd’s analysis shows that the possibility of a large split between the popular vote and Electoral College results may decrease this cycle. The latest poll results indicate a smaller Democratic lead in core blue states compared to previous years, potentially leading to a scenario where the Electoral College winner also carries the popular vote.
Additional top stories covered in the newsletter include details on disinformation from Russia, controversial comments by former President Trump, and updates on early voting in Virginia and legal rulings on voting rights in Georgia and Nebraska. Michelle Obama is set to headline a rally for first-time voters, and a Texas Senate debate featured clashes over contentious issues.
