Steyer Continues Political Losing Streak in 2016

[Geee]

Free Beacon:

Tom Steyer extended his losing streak on Tuesday, as Republicans prevailed in a majority of federal contests in which the billionaire Democrat’s political groups attempted to sway the outcomes.

 

Through three different super PACs, Steyer poured money into the presidential contest, nine Senate races, and four races for the House of Representatives. His favored candidates won six of those contests and lost eight of them.

 

The outcome of Tuesday’s elections, especially the presidential race, has Steyer so unsettled that he is reconsidering plans to run for governor of California in 2018, he told a local network news station.

 

Steyer personally donated $56 million to his primary political group, NextGen Climate Action, during the 2016 election cycle, Federal Election Commission records show. NextGen then passed on six- and seven-figure sums to two other groups with which Steyer was directly involved: NextGen California and For Our Future PAC.

 

NextGen California was focused primarily on the presidential contest. The group ran ads in California attacking President-elect Donald Trump. For Our Future also went after Trump in addition to Republican candidates for House and Senate seats.
