Democrats Wasted Nearly $500 Million to Get Brutally Beat in 5 Senate Races
November 10, 2024 by Olivia Rondeau
Democrats and allied operatives wasted nearly half a billion dollars on Senate races that they were doomed to lose, campaign finance filings obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation revealed.
Not one Republican senator running for reelection lost their seat on Tuesday, despite Democrat campaigns and political action committees throwing over $495 million at their opponents.
A whopping $194 million was spent on promoting incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and opposing his opponent, Republican Senator-elect Bernie Moreno, who ended up ousting him from his seat by four points with over 95 percent of the ballots counted.
Nearly $160 million was spent trying to save incumbent Sen. Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) from Republican Senator-elect Tim Sheehy, but he was handily beaten by over seven points, with 97 percent of the ballots counted.
In Texas, approximately $92 million was spent on an attempt to defeat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who has held that office since 2013.
Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) was easily beaten by Cruz by nearly nine points, with 99 percent of the votes in.
Another $51 million was spent on fruitless attempts to flip Senate seats in Florida and Missouri by supporting attorney Lucas Kunce (D) against incumbent Sen. Josh Hawley (R) and former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D) against incumbent Sen. Rick Scott (R), respectively.
Kunce lost by about 14 points and Mucarsel-Powell lost by about 13.
Edwin , it worse that that supposedly. I can’t even wrap around it around my head the waste of money that just happened. https://www.megynkelly.com/2024/11/08/did-the-harris-walz-campaign-end-up-20-million-in-debt-after-raising-over-1-billion/
Arrested Pol Builds Marriage Biz

In fact, in only three of those 114 marriages did any of the applicants list New Haven as their city of residence. Most of the marriages included one spouse from abroad: 79 involved a spouse from India, another 36 from other nations ranging from Georgia (nine) and Tajikistan (four) to Turkey, Russia, Egypt and Jamaica (two apiece).
Her burgeoning work comes at a time when the number of marriages conducted in New Haven has exploded, especially marriages involving one Indian immigrant. That phenomenon caught the attention of New Haven’s previous registrar, Patricia Clark. She notified the federal government of her suspicions about the honesty of those marriages. Clark resigned from her job after being placed on leave pending an investigation finding that she violated a city policy forbidding officials from reporting suspicions about immigration to federal authorities as well as other violations of city policies and procedures.
