参议院民主党候选人公布了令人瞠目结舌的第三季度筹款数字，削弱了共和党在全国范围内的中期选举支出优势。
Senate Democratic candidates are posting eye-popping third-quarter fundraising numbers, cutting into Republicans’ midterm spending advantage across the map.
詹姆斯·塔拉利科在得州筹得6400万美元，乔治亚州参议员乔恩·奥索夫筹得3300万美元，前俄亥俄州参议员谢罗德·布朗通过其筹款委员会共计筹得2820万美元，前北卡罗来纳州州长罗伊·库珀筹得1950万美元，前阿拉斯加州众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉筹得1700万美元，堪萨斯州民主党人亚当·汉密尔顿筹得1060万美元，克里斯·帕帕斯众议员在新罕布什尔州筹得810万美元。
James Talarico raised $64 million in Texas, Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff brought in $33 million, former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown brought in $28.2 million between his fundraising committees, former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper raised $19.5 million, former Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola took in $17 million, Kansas Democrat Adam Hamilton raised $10.6 million, and Rep. Chris Pappas raised $8.1 million in New Hampshire.
共和党参议院领导基金超级政治行动委员会筹得2.73亿美元，而民主党参议院多数派政治行动委员会筹得1.51亿美元。但个人竞选筹款数字很重要，因为候选人能获得比外部团体更好的广告费率。
The GOP Senate Leadership Fund super PAC brought in $273 million while Democratic Senate Majority PAC raised $151 million. But the individual campaign numbers are important because candidates get better ad rates than outside groups.
塔拉利科的筹款额让俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺在周四发出“圣母啊”的感叹，但他坚持认为支出正在达到“收益递减点……我们已经用广告毁掉了大学体育运动，基本上毁掉了每一场体育赛事。”在共和党方面，前密歇根州众议员迈克·罗杰斯筹得960万美元，缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯筹得520万美元，俄亥俄州参议员乔恩·赫斯特筹得480万美元，得州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿筹得1800万美元。
Talarico’s haul earned a “holy crap” from Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, on Thursday, but he insisted the spending is getting to a “point of diminishing returns. … We’ve ruined college sports and basically every sporting event with advertising.”On the Republican side, former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers brought in $9.6 million, Sen. Susan Collins raised $5.2 million in Maine, Ohio Sen. Jon Husted took in $4.8 million, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton raised $18 million.
帕克斯顿和赫斯特尤其凸显了共和党在候选人层面的劣势，尽管共和党超级政治行动委员会在得州和俄亥俄州的支出旨在抵消这种劣势。
Paxton and Husted in particular demonstrate the GOP disadvantage at the candidate level, although the Republican super PAC spending in Texas and Ohio is intended to counteract it.
截至周四下午，并非所有民主党或共和党竞选团队都已披露其筹款情况。
Not all of the Democratic or Republican campaigns had disclosed their fundraising by Thursday afternoon.
