Outside groups rush to help Clinton, Trump, Senate hopefuls
The father of Florida Senate candidate Patrick Murphy is among the million-dollar donors to an outside group helping Democrats try to win back the Senate this fall. Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association's political committee is pooling together small contributions to run attack ads against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Those are among the findings of the earliest fundraising reports this weekend. The presidential candidates and many outside groups must report their July fundraising and spending details to federal regulators by midnight Saturday.
