The El Paso congressman’s ability to vastly outpace the incumbent is no longer in doubt. Cruz collected $4.6 million during the same period, and O’Rourke has extended his streak of raising more than the incumbent in one of the nation’s costliest races…

The latest three-month haul leaves O’Rourke with $14 million for the last four months before Election Day. His fund-raising total now tops $23 million — almost exactly the sum Cruz has raised for his Senate campaign account since winning the seat in 2012.
