The ridiculous price tag for a Senate race
CNN
Pennsylvania voters won't choose their Senate nominees for more than a month but already almost $80 million has been spent on television by candidates and their aligned super PACs in the race.
That total makes Pennsylvania the most expensive Senate race in the country, leading Arizona ($64 million) and Georgia ($62 million) in total ad spending to date. (Shout out to CNN's David Wright for compiling these numbers.)

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
