The Senate Leadership Fund is airing an ad in Wisconsin that slams Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Mandela Barnes for being soft on crime.
Barnes’ soft-on-crime policies appear to be hurting his campaign fundraising and ability to reframe the campaign about Democrat issues instead of law and order. According to the Huffington Post, Democrats have beenby Republicans by more than 1.6 million in the last two weeks in Wisconsin, a state the GOP must hold in order to retake the Senate in November.
In contrast, Rep. Val Demings , who is running for Senate in Florida, has raised $26.4 million in small donations. Rep. Tim Ryan , a Senate candidate in Ohio, has raised $8 million in small donations. The NRSC has spent months preparing to attack Barnes and committed to defining him as a radical early in the race. The investment seems to be paying off. “Thanks to your investments, the NRSC has been able to spend heavily, early which has kept our candidates in the ballgame,” Scotta memo to donors last week. “Every Democrat we are trying to beat is under 50 in the polling right now and no Democrat has been able to pull away in the polls in our target states.

Gay marriage bill hits snag in U.S. Senate, no vote until after electionsU.S. Senate votes on legislation protecting gay marriage on Thursday were put off until after the Nov. 8 congressional elections, as negotiators failed to win enough Republican support to ensure passage. The delay dashed the hopes of advocates who had sought prompt action on a bill already passed by the House of Representatives that would ensure protection for same-sex and interracial marriages. The move came after weeks of closed-door talks between a small group of Democratic and Republican senators who looked at ways to amend the House bill in order to attract at least 10 Republican supporters who would join 48 Democrats and two independents.
