The group said Friday that it had invested more than $2 million in its endorsed candidates to date. Nearly half of that went toward supporting conservative upstart Matt Bevin, who is challenging McConnell in Kentucky.
The SCF invested $985,994 in Bevin. The next-biggest investment was to Chris McDaniel, who is challenging GOP Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi. The "investments" come from both donations and independent expenditures.
As of October, according to campaign finance reports, McConnell had nearly $10 million cash on hand. During the period of July-September 2013, McConnell raised more than $2.2 million to Bevin's $822,000 - including $600,000 from himself.
McConnell has not been shy about expressing his displeasure with the Senate Conservatives Fund. In a December interview with The Washington Examiner, he said the group was "giving conservatism a bad name."
"What they do is mislead their donors into believing the reason that we can't get as good an outcome as we'd like to get is not because of a Democratic Senate and a Democratic president, but because Republicans are insufficiently committed to the cause - which is utter nonsense," McConnell told the Examiner.
Here's a look at how the Senate Conservatives Fund is allocating its investment in each of its five endorsed candidates:
