Corporate Dough To Election Deniers Down Just 10%

Roll Call reports:

Donations from corporate and trade association PACs declined in the 2022 cycle by 10 percent to Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election for President Joe Biden, according to an analysis of campaign reports by Accountable.us.

The nonpartisan group, which seeks to curb corporate influence in politics, looked at the political action committees of Fortune 500 companies and more than 700 trade associations and found the 10 percent dip between the 2020 and 2022 cycles to the election objectors who ran in both elections.

After the attack, many business and industry PACs announced they would pause donations to lawmakers who voted against upholding the election. Most business PACs restarted donations before the 2022 election, especially as Republicans appeared favored to win the majority in the House.

Overall, the 10 percent drop meant PACs gave $3.7 million less to those lawmakers than they did in the previous election cycle. https://t.co/eIihquSd9A
