Democrats improved in the third quarter, but Republicans still have more money.
After just one vulnerable House Democrat raised $1 million in the second quarter, four members targeted by the NRCC raised at least that total in the third quarter. That group includes Rep.

“and tax breaks for billionaires....”
Same old BS year after year.
LOL- reading this excerpt is seems Republicans are still bringing in more $$$ than the rats yet not to the same extent as the first half of the year...yet somehow they are “closing the gap according to pollutico?
Oh, boy - oh, boy…another Pollutico article filled with hopium, unicorn farts, and Democrat delusions about “being on the right side of the issues.”
Word Salad Queen got over a billion and still lost.
All of the money she got was stolen. It was in other accounts Crime Boss Joey was going to steal.She couldn’t raise a window shade.
Great point.
"Not enough money" has never been the Democrat's problem, that I can recall.
Ready for change? Apparently not if they were to fall for that tired old playbook again.
We can’t count on them being that stupid with how they spend their money, though...nor put it behind that terrible of a candidate.
