The super political action committee tied to House Speaker Mike Johnson said it raised $94.4 million in the third quarter and entered October with $155.2 million in cash on hand as it shifts money to more competitive races before next month’s midterm elections. 

The Congressional Leadership Fund and an allied nonprofit called American Action Network have raised $370 million so far in the two-year election cycle, a record for the groups, the PAC said Thursday. 

Republican super PACs and party committees have enjoyed a wide fundraising edge, building a $1.1 billion war chest in their party committees and main super PACs by the end of the second quarter, triple the amount Democrats held.

US consumer prices advanced in September at the fastest pace in five months and a gauge of underlying price pressures rose by more than expected, keeping the squeeze on household budgets ahead of November’s midterm elections.

The consumer price index rose 0.6% from a month earlier, driven by a surge in fuel costs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Wednesday. A key measure of underlying price pressures, which excludes food and energy, was up 0.3%.

The White House said it has asked US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign from her post following allegations of unethical conduct.

President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, indicated that she would be leaving.

“I didn’t speak to her, no — but she will not be there. I didn’t like what I read,” Trump said. White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters earlier she had been asked to resign.

Guilfoyle, a Trump appointee, came under scrutiny in a series of reports by the Wall Street Journal alleging she solicited or accepted money, travel and other benefits from private individuals while using — or offering to use — her access to US officials and her diplomatic position to advance their interests.
