“The RNC is the only organization on either side of the aisle currently running a full-scale General Election field operation, and we’re able to do so thanks to the thousands of supporters who continue to give us a decisive advantage over the Democrat National Committee in preparing to win,” Priebus said.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) also released its October numbers, raising about $2.3 million with about $10.3 cash on hand. The NRSC is debt-free.
