Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) has raised $1.6 million in the last three months, a strong haul for the vulnerable incumbent.

Hagan has $2.7 million in the bank for her first reelection run, which could be a tough one. Republicans view her as one of their top targets, and her poll numbers show she could be vulnerable in the GOP-leaning state, though it's unclear who will step up to run against Hagan at this point. Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.) recently said she'll decide on whether or not to run for the seat in June.

"Senator Hagan's strong fundraising quarter shows that she is building the grassroots momentum from all across North Carolina that elected her in 2008 and that will re-elect her in 2014," said Hagan campaign manager Preston Elliott in a statement. "These resources will help ensure that Kay's message and strong record of results for North Carolina's seniors, students and veterans reach every corner of the state as she continues her work to get the economy back on track and grow jobs."

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) raised $1.2 million in the first quarter for her reelection bid, with $3.46 million cash on hand.

"She is at this time making up her mind," Dingell told The Hill. 

A recording of McConnell and aides discussing campaign strategy was leaked and then published online.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) goes into his reelection campaign extremely vulnerable against two of the likeliest Democratic contenders, according to a new poll.

Aides on the tape obtained by Mother Jones discussed attacking the actress over her mental health, religion and family values.

Despite the fact that a majority of Louisiana voters see Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) as voting with her party most of the time, she retains a positive job approval and defeats both potential GOP contenders in the race in a new poll, but remains vulnerable going into reelection.
