Democrats poised to outspend GOP in final two weeks of election: report

Democratic campaigns and outside fundraising groups are expected to outspend their Republican counterparts over the final stretch of the midterm campaign as the two sides battle for control of the House, The New York Times reported Sunday.
Strategists from both parties told the news outlets that Democrats are on track to outspend Republicans by a wide margin in the final weeks of campaigning. Democrats are on pace to spend $143 million on television ads in House races, compared to $86 million for Republicans.
The Times reported that the surge in ad buys will erase a spending advantage Republicans were expected to have for much of the campaign.
Democrats have been boosted substantially by an infusion of money from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has pledged to spend about $20 million in House campaign ads in the final week, The Times reported.
