U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle speaks during the state GOP convention Friday at the Green Valley Ranch in Henderson.

Republican Sharron Angle reported raising $2.3 million since late May for her campaign against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, an amount that nearly equaled what Reid has banked since April.

Angle's campaign said she raised $2.3 million between May 20 and June 30.

Reid raised $2.4 million toward his re-election between April and June.

Angle's campaign has seen a surge in financial support since emerging about broke from the June primary.

Records released Thursday show Reid is spending nearly $1 million a month -- that's more than he's taking in.

But he has a balance of about $9 million in the bank. Angle has about $1.8 million on hand.

Reid will need to raise an average of more than $44,000 a day to reach his goal of $25 million.
