Senator Jon Ossoff, who is currently seeking reelection as the Republican Party aims for his seat, leads the race in spending by a wide margin.
Sen. Ossoff already has a head start on campaigning for the midterms as the only Democratic candidate, while the Republican race remains unsettled as the May 19 primary ended in a runoff.
The GOP can't put its full support behind a single candidate until the June 16 runoff results, during which Representative Mike Collins and football coach Derek Dooley will face off, are decided.
Sen. Ossoff ended the first quarter of the year with $31 million in funds, compared to Rep. Collins' just over $2 million, according to the Federal Elections Commission.
However, the National Republican Party is planning a big cash injection into the GOP Senate race once a single nominee is chosen after the runoff.
The Senate Leadership Fund, which is closely aligned with the majority leader, announced a $342 million ad buy in several states, including North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, and Alaska, among others, to help Republicans maintain the majority in the Senate.
Georgia is supposed to receive $44 million, which would boost the top Republican candidate ahead of Ossoff in fundraising.
However, it may still be hard for the GOP to catch up to Ossoff in spending, with the incumbent topping the spending charts for all Senate races in the country.
Since January 2021, Ossoff has spent almost $53 million compared to the next highest spender, Texas Democrat James Talerico, at around $30 million.
Neither of the Republican candidates is in the top 50 spenders in the nation, with Dooley sitting at #62 with about $2.2 million spent since January 2021.
Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, so Ossoff's seat is a major flipping target as Democrats close in on seats in other states.
The stakes are just as high for the Democrats, with the party needing to net gain at least four Senate seats in the midterms to gain the majority.
