VCs are lobbing cash at the presidential election and key congressional races, FEC data shows. This election cycle, investors at the top venture capital firms have plowed tens of millions of dollars into the election, both backing their favored political candidates and just cannily promoting commercial interests. (The filing deadline for Q3 data for quarterly filing entities was October 15, but this data isn't yet readily available in full online.) Business Insider selected 10 venture capital firms to focus on, taking into account fund size and cultural and industry significance. Sequoia Capital's Doug Leone is one of VC's most prolific GOP-aligned political donors, giving his almost $3.8 million to the National Republican Committee and other causes.

“I’m here to say we have a plan that is turning things around incredibly quickly.” He added that “we have more work to do.”Republicans have criticized Mr. Biden for high inflation, high interest rates that make borrowing more expensive, and the cost of everyday necessities like health care, child care, groceries, gas and more. “Americans don’t want Biden to ‘finish the job.’”Administration officials acknowledge there is more work to do in bringing down inflation, but they note it has fallen for 11 straight months. Mr. Biden has signed trillions of dollars in economic legislation since taking office. Administration officials this week released new analyses to underscore how those laws are beginning to boost the economy. In other areas, though, administration officials continue to make claims about Mr. Biden’s record that are not supported by evidence.
