Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman is facing significant fundraising challenges, having raised only $330,000 in the third quarter of 2025 while spending nearly $575,000. This trend marks the third consecutive quarter where his campaign expenditures have exceeded its income, raising concerns among party supporters about his political standing and future prospects for the 2028 election, especially in light of potential primary challengers.

California Republicans have struggled to raise significant funds against Proposition 50, initially promising to collect $100 million but only managing to gather around $11 million so far. In contrast, Democrat-led initiatives have raised nearly $100 million, aided by high-profile endorsements and advertisements, leading to increasing public support for the redistricting measure according to recent polls.
