Democrat Groups Panic Spend Millions in Colorado, Washington Senate Races

Per data from an advertising tracking service reviewed by Breitbart News, in Washington the outside left-wing group Women Vote has reserved more than a million dollars worth of television ads in the final weeks of the race in an effort to boost struggling incumbent Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) in her bid to hold off Republican candidate Tiffany Smiley.

While that seems like a lot, between two different groups—Giffords PAC and 53 Peaks—pro-Democrat groups have reserved north of $3 million worth of television ad time in Colorado to boost lagging incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) in his bid to hold off Republican candidate Joe O’Dea.

Recent polling has shown both races tightening, with a new poll out this week in Washington showing Smiley virtually tied with Murray—trailing her by two points, inside the survey’s margin of error.

If Republicans take either of these races, the GOP’s chances at retaking the U.S. Senate majority significantly improve. The U.S. Senate is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, meaning Republicans need to take just a net one seat back from Democrats to retake control of the chamber.
