Pat Toomey (R), who is the likely Republican nominee in the Pennsylvania Senate race, raised over $1 million last quarter. That may help him to stave off a primary challenge from Jane Orie, the GOP Majority Whip in the state Senate.
Orie, accompanied by Pennsylvania GOP chairman Rob Gleason, recently met with the NRSC to discuss a run. It’s possible that Republicans are feeling uneasy with Toomey, but his fundraising talents still far outmatch those of almost any potential competitor. It remains unclear whether Orie will run, but she will need to get involved soon to raise the necessary funds.
