Dems reportedly raking in cash, despite lagging poll numbers
Nancy Pelosi has urged her fellow Democrats to unify ahead of the midterms
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Democratic National Committee reportedly pulled in more than $14 million last month despite sagging poll numbers ahead of the November midterms.
Sources familiar with the fundraising told NBC News the $14 million figure was nearly double the DNC’s February goal and roughly split 50-50 between large and grassroots donors.

The news, if confirmed in the DNC’s public filing due next week, comes the day President Biden is scheduled to attend his first in-person Democratic fundraising event since taking over the White House.

A poll from The Wall Street Journal indicated that nonwhite voters have been the most impacted by inflation. Many of the respondents blamed President Biden's green initiatives for causing inflation and said they believed Republican candidates were better equipped to fix the economy.
