The Democratic National Committee still doesn’t have a definite nominee, but they’ve already dropped a record $22 million on YouTube ads to start airing in September, mostly to potential voters who live in swing states.

That $22 million represents more than what the DNC has on hand, according to the latest totals from OpenSecrets, but the organization, which operates as the main fundraising arm for national Democratic candidates, did get an influx of cash from former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who turned over $18 million to the DNC after ending his campaign for president.
