The Democratic Party heads into the midterms with generic congressional ballot polling and historical precedent on its side. The Republican National Committee reported $128 million in cash against $16 million for the Democratic National Committee, which is also carrying $18 million in debt. The National Republican Congressional Committee held $92.7 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's $79 million. Senate Leadership Fund, the leading Republican Senate super PAC, reported roughly $112 million more on hand than the Democratic-aligned Senate Majority PAC. In North Carolina, Cooper is about $17 million ahead of former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley.
