MADISON, Wis. — A growing number of national companies heavily invested in political spending are distancing themselves or withdrawing support for members of Congress who voted last week to block the certification of President-Elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory. Some, like Facebook, Google and Microsoft, have announced plans to put all of their political donations on pause.
Others like Marriott, Blue Cross Blue Shield, AT&T, Hallmark, and more have announced plans to cut their funding to the members of Congress who voted to overturn the election.
