The Democratic Senate campaign organization announced a major new nationwide spending spree Monday focused on reaching out directly to voters with less than 50 days until the election.
The $25 million is being spread across 10 Senate battleground states, including Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Montana, as well as Florida and Texas, where Democrats are hoping to unseat Republican incumbents even though Republicans are expected to keep their seats.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also spent some of its money in Maryland, where popular former Republican governor Larry Hogan threatens the party's dominance there.

“In a close election, strong, hands-on efforts make a big difference, which is why the DSCC has worked all election week to build the infrastructure that will lead to victory for Senate Democrats,” DSCC Chairman Gary Peters (D-Mich.) said in a statement.
“This increased investment will expand our campaign's organizational capabilities, educate more voters on the importance of participating in this election, and ensure we reach all the voters we need to win.”

The committee also said the funding could be increased before the election.

The newly announced spending comes as polls are tight in key races in which Republicans are trying to unseat vulnerable Democratic incumbents, giving Republicans a clear chance of winning the Senate majority.
Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and Republican candidate for Senate in Montana, recently appeared to have an edge over his opponent, Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), with two top political forecasters changing the race from “50-50” to “Republicans ahead.”
