NRSC
The National Republican Senatorial Committee has canceled all of its planned independent expenditures across the country and will instead use the money to finance “hybrid” ads with its candidates, reports Politico’s Ally Mutnick. The move, she explains is due to a “cash crunch” Republicans are facing thanks to superior fundraising by Democratic candidates.
Thanks to that deficit, the NRSC’s shift has been underway for months. Only the Senate races in Michigan and Nevada are still seeing traditional independent expenditures from the committee, and these, too, will soon come to an end.
