Democrats to spend $1 million in final push for Michelle Nunn
Democrats in Washington think enough of Michelle Nunn's U.S. Senate bid to toss in an extra $1 million, reports Politico.com:
The National Republican Senatorial Committee authorized its independent expenditure arm on Friday to spend an additional $1.45 million in Georgia.
The most recent Democratic internal polls show Democrat Michelle Nunn, a former nonprofit executive, leading Perdue and close to 50 percent, the threshold she would need to reach to avoid a Jan. 6 runoff, according to people who have reviewed the polling.
Without a doubt, the DSCC decision is the flip side of its call to go dark in Kentucky, first broken by Roll Call.
This is the first independent expenditure on Nunn's behalf from the DSCC. It had previously put $1.5 million into television ads and field efforts coordinated with the Nunn campaign.
Republicans are also stepping up their investments, with the National Republican Senatorial Committee putting up $1.45 million and Ending Spending Action Fund with another $2 million.
