OP senators are privately alarmed at the cash problems facing Sen. Rick Scott's National Republican Senatorial Committee, uneasy over his feud with Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell and worried that their internal issues could undercut their already difficult road back to the majority this fall.

Behind the scenes, GOP senators are maneuvering to make up for the committee's cash shortfall, with discussions underway to take matters into their own hands to circumvent the NRSC entirely and directly help candidates who need critical resources down the homestretch of the high-stakes campaign, according to multiple GOP sources.

A new fear among Republicans: The NRSC won't be able to bankroll its part to target voters with direct mail and urge them to come to the polls in key battleground states, something that the party committee spent tens of millions of dollars to do during the 2020 cycle.

McConnell, meanwhile, has been on the phone with big donors for the past several weeks -- going well beyond his traditional call list -- in an effort to ensure his high-spending super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, is flush with cash to spend huge sums on TV ads in battleground states in the campaign's final two months, one senior GOP source said.
