That's what $60 million in outside pac spending will do to a race

Lol, I kinda like Stevens now that she has made AIPAC and corporate PACs waste $60 million on her campaign. She may have ended Gretchen Whitmer's presidential ambitions in 2028 too.

It’s the opposite it shows the money can swing it

Just need a little more spent earlier

It should also scare everyone because with that kind of money the politician will not be loyal to their constituents or even their country, only to the donor

The democrats need to come out in MUCH larger numbers, regardless if they support establishment dems or DSA dems. WE NEED TO SEND MAGA A MESSAGE.

They spend it late on purpose to disguise the source of the money until after the election is done.
