The campaign of Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), who is in a June 8 Democratic primary runoff against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, has announced that it had $2 million cash on hand going into the runoff sprint.
The latest Federal Election Commission pre-runoff filing, which is due today, reveals that Lincoln had $2 million cash on hand. The filing covers activity from April 29 to May 19, the day after the first-round primary. During that period, Lincoln raised $552,189 and spent $1.6 million in the run-up to the May 18 primary.
We asked the Halter campaign if the update on their numbers was available yet. They said they will have it later today. The TPM Poll Average gives Lincoln a bare edge over Halter of 45.2%-45.1%.
