(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)ATLANTA – The Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs don't take place until Jan. 5. And President Donald Trump has complicated the contest by claiming baselessly that the November election in Georgia was beset by fraud. Already, $329 million in advertising has been spent or reserved in the state since Election Day, according to data from the ad tracking firm Kantar/CMAG. While Biden’s campaign ran operations in Georgia until the Nov. 3 election, Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is in charge now. “People are very inspired by the Stacey Abrams magic,” said Michael Smith, a Los Angeles donor who has given to several groups raising money for the Georgia Democrats.

The pitch to these influential donors started last year, one of the people said. In other cases, there was a push to get new donors who were not Trump supporters during his last campaign. That same month, Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said the effort would cost at least $1 billion. In the first quarter of 2020, the Trump campaign, along with the RNC and their joint fundraising committees, raised $212 million. Representatives for Mercer, the RNC and Trump campaign did not return repeated requests for comment.
