The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee reported receipts of over $6.3 million with almost $25 million cash on hand while the National Republican Senatorial Committee came in a close second with just over $6 million in receipts and $19.3 million stocked in the bank. Both committees are debt-free.

On the Democratic side, Bill Gates contributed $15,000 so far this cycle, While Donald Trump, and Anna, David, and Elizabeth Koch contributed $32,400, each, to the NRSC.
