Democratic former Sen. Evan Bayh's campaign said Wednesday it had raised some $2.5 million between his entry into the race in July and the end of September, when it had more than $5 million in the bank.
Republican Rep. Todd Young closed some of Bayh's previous fundraising lead as his campaign collected about $3.4 million in the past three months, but trailed Bayh with $1.6 million in cash.
Outside GOP backers including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the billionaire Koch brothers have poured more than $10 million into the race. That has eroded Bayh's fundraising advantage as Republicans seek to hold the seat and their narrow Senate majority.
Bayh entered the race in July with $9.4 million ready to spend—money he’d been saving since he decided to drop out of politics six years ago.
